| Abstract: | In the due course of evolution, maintaining health and coping with aggrievances and illnesses for survival or adaptation has always been the goal of organisms, which has been verified by the narrative aeons of ancient culture and archaeological shreds of evidence of natural and nonnatural/ synthetic diseases, accidents and injuries. The earlier discussion on hunter-gatherers’ health, illness and healthcare management knowledge systems involves the discourse of epidemiological transitions. This research aims to understand the health knowledge systems of present-day hunter-gatherers through cross-cultural comparison, beyond the dichotomy of natural diseases and rational treatments. |
