"We think of transplant surgery as one of the medical wonders of the modern world, but it's a lot older than you think. As ancient as the pyramids, its history is even more surprising. Cultural historian Paul Craddock takes us on a journey from sixteenth-century skin grafting to contemporary stem cell transplants, uncovering stories of experiments and operations performed by unexpected people in unexpected places.
