Head to Toe: Skull
The podcast is available to download on Spotify, iTunes, Podbean and Soundcloud.
Would you chow down on a human skull to treat your headache? In this episode we explore the history of medical cannibalism and how it ties in with colonialism and Victorian high society. In a world where you can nip down the shops for a jar of fresh femurs, exactly how far was too far?
We also explore the history of phrenology and the medical significance of examining the skull.
