Abstract

Neandertalci predstavljaju izumrlu populaciju roda Homo koja je nastanjivala prostor Europe i Bliskog istoka u periodu 250000 – 35000 godina prije sadašnjosti. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je ponuditi pregled objavljenih osteoloških dokaza o zacjeljivanju traumatskih ozljeda i brige o bolesnim neandertalcima. Predstavljaju se osnovni principi bioarheologije, kao i metodološki okvir novog tematskog područja – bioarheologije skrbi (Tilley 2015). U skladu s metodologijom bioarheologije skrbi, predstavljen je životni kontekst neandertalaca, kao i neki recentni dokazi koji govore u prilog neandertalskom bihevioralnom modernitetu. Pregledom dostupne literature, utvrđuje se učestalost pojedinih tipova traumi ili patologija, njihova stopa smrtnosti, odnosno preživljavanja te mogući model zdravstvene skrbi. Krajnja svrha ovog diplomskog rada je razmotriti evolucijski značaj skrbi o bolesnima i ozlijeđenima u neandertalskim populacijama i njegov utjecaj na stavove struke o neandertalcima.

Abstract (english)

Neandertals are an extinct population of the genus Homo which inhabited Europe and the Near East between 250 000 and 35 000 BP. This graduate thesis aims to assess the current osteological evidence of trauma management and caring for the ill Neandertals. Basic principles of Bioarchaeology are presented, as well as the methodological framework of a newly emerging field of Bioarchaeology of Care (Tilley 2015). In accordance with the Bioarchaeology of Care methodology, Neandertal lifeways context is presented, along with some recent evidence in favour of Neandertal behavioural modernity. Incidence of different types of trauma and pathologies, the associated mortality and survival rates and a possible model of healthcare practices are determined by analysing the available literature. The final aim of this thesis is to discuss the evolutionary significance of Neandertal healthcare and its implications for scientific discourse about Neanderthals.
