Ancient medicine may not have been as primitive as we once thought. A fascinating find from Sweden, dating between 1260 and 1527, reveals a humerus bone with a copper plate applied after surgery, demonstrating an advanced understanding of both surgical procedure and the medicinal properties of materials. The bone’s growth around the plate indicates a successful operation, with the bone healing as expected.
The use of copper in this ancient surgery was likely no coincidence. Copper has long been known for its antimicrobial and antiviral properties, making it an early example of using a material with antiseptic qualities to prevent infection and promote healing. This discovery challenges previous assumptions about the limitations of ancient medical practices and showcases the ingenuity of early medical professionals who combined practical knowledge with natural resources.
The successful integration of the copper plate into the humerus not only demonstrates a surgical skill that we might not expect from this era but also reflects a deeper understanding of healing and infection control. This remarkable find provides a glimpse into the sophisticated medical knowledge and techniques of the past, which were far ahead of their time.
Fun Fact: The ancient use of copper as an antiseptic proves that early medical practices were far more advanced than often assumed.

Meet Claudine – our fearless, no-nonsense chimpanzee here at Chimp Eden… and unofficial snake control officer! 🐒
While most chimps run for the trees at the sight of a slithering visitor, Claudine goes full action mode. If a snake dares enter the camp, Claudine grabs a stick, pins it down like a pro, and marches it straight to the chimp pond – where she drowns it like it’s her sworn mission. 😳
But it doesn’t stop there… oh no. Once the snake is “neutralised,” she proudly parades around with it, chasing the other chimpanzees just for fun – like she’s showing off her trophy! The others? Running, screaming, and climbing anything with a branch! Chaos. 😆
Don’t mess with Claudine – she’s not just tough, she’s got a wild sense of humor too.
