Humans have always been interested in deviations from health. Ancient texts that are thousands of years old record instances of diseases such as leprosy. Historically, disease has often been correlated with morality, but this view has gradually given way to modern disease theory. (this sounds a bit like a generalization, like they needed an introduction to the section).

Historical evidence shows us that deviations from good health have been an interest to humans. Although the content that makes up this study can be traced through ancient texts, the term "paelopathology" didn't have much traction until the 20th century. This time period saw an increase in case studies and "published reports on ancient diseases".
