This is basically the story of my whole disability and infanticide argument. Indeed, with most ancient disability scholarship I've read. I've had to provide PROOF and ARGUMENTATION that disabled people even EXISTED in the ancient world. Like, what??https://twitter.com/isaacsoon2/status/1330934289509220355 …

Any examples you provide are met with explanations of why that's the exception.
That is...very counter-intuitive. Anthropologists and Archaeologists use the survival of injured or disabled people in early human social groups as measures of social complexity and care. If there are disabled people in the *neolithic* than surely... Wow, just...eash.

So many of my Q&A sessions include someone who says, "I just don't think so," based entirely on their "gut feelings" about disability. As if the reason they've never heard of it is because it didn't exist, not because no one bothered to consider it before.
