Extraordinary appearance or bodies have obsessed humankind since antiquity. The nineteenth century ‘‘freak’’ was known as a ‘‘monster’’ in ancient times and considered to be a prodigy. The birth of such an individual, as with natural events such as comets and earthquakes, was thought to portend grave or disastrous events. Stone-age cave drawings record monstrous births, while prehistoric grave sites evince elaborate ritual sacrifices of such bodies.
