OK, so, you dig up bones that are supposedly 4 thousand years old and you then you say you can identify breast cancer?
That's pushing it a bit but we live in an age when to be "scientific" means to "push it."

Metastatic cancer leaves marks on the bones. They know this from studying contemporary cancer victims. It’s amazing what can be learned from a well-preserved cadaver.
My theory is that some cancers, such as skin cancer, were just as prevalent in ancient populations, but simply haven’t been identified due to lack of remains and lack of evidence on bones. Other cancers would be less common because of shorter lifespans as well as other lifestyle variations.

As a matter of fact, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Quit trolling.
