But it...
occurred right up to contact, really.
And we have it in South America, North America, Canada.
So what is now the U.S., but also what is now Canada, throughout Central America, Europe, some of the bog bodies have evidence of this, and the Middle East, so really throughout the world.
And I think that's fascinating from two perspectives.
One thing is we also have cranial modification throughout the world.
There's
I think the only place we do not find modified skulls is in sub-Saharan Africa.
And so it's interesting that all over the world they either got the same idea or it started so early on that it predates the dispersal of human skulls.
And I think that that's probably the better explanation because there has been suggestion that there's evidence of cranial modification going back maybe even to the Neanderthals and Homo erectus.
The evidence is not as clear.
But, you know, it's suggestive.
They were, yes, yeah.
And then what's also interesting is all over the world is stopped around the same time.
Like a thousand years ago or so.
Some places a little bit later.
But yeah, about a thousand years ago.
You know, 1300, 1400.
But, you know, so I believe... I mean, brain surgery is still going on today.
Yeah.
