While amputation may be thought of as a fairly modern procedure, a new study suggests that humans have been performing such surgeries since the Stone Age.Researchers from Griffith University have found the remains of a young individual in Borneo whose left foot had been surgically amputated 31,000 years ago.Amazingly, the researchers believe that the person survived the surgery, and lived for another six to nine years, dying at the age of 19 or 20.
