Time Travel Question 47: Early Modernish and Earlier 2 (Reposted. First Version Had Issues
These Questions are the result of suggestions a the previous iteration.
This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct earlier time grouping. Basically, I'd already moved on to human history, but I'd periodically get a pre-homin suggestion, hence the occasional random item waaay out of it's time period, rather than reopen the category.
In some cases a culture lasted a really long time and I grouped them by whether it was likely the later or earlier grouping made the most sense with the information I had. (Invention ofs tend to fall in an earlier grouping if it's still open. Ones that imply height of or just before something tend to get grouped later, but not always. Sometimes I'll split two different things from the same culture into different polls because they involve separate research goals or the like).
Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration. All cultures and time periods welcome.

POV, it's 1794 and you're a nurse in a French hospital checking on a patient with a weird eating disorder.

Everyone is so focused on the fact that Tarrare ate that baby that no one is trying to picture what it would be like to be a doctor trying to explain to the parents that their toddler was eaten by another patient

The Tarrare post going around again this week got into my head and this happened:
In Which Tarrare Is Admitted to Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital
House: [picking up a marker] So this guy is really, really hungry. He could eat a horse, literally.
Cameron: Patient presented with advanced tuberculosis. The antibiotics are helping, but he's still dying.
House: Let's focus on the extreme hunger. "Polyphagia", how do you spell that? And more importantly, what could cause it?
Cameron: Hyperthyroid can cause increased appetite, and his other symptoms, increased body temperature, sweating, fine hair...
Foreman: Thyroid makes you have an extra burger, not the whole cow. Damaged amygdala is more likely.
House: [addressing Chase] What about you? Any theories?
Chase: [shrugs] He's French.
House: Anyone know the billing code for "Frenchness"?
Chase: He might have been eating tartares, raw meat. Could be intestinal parasites?
House: That's a hell of a tapeworm. All right, Chase, test for parasites, Cameron, check his thyroid, and get him in an MRI to check the amygdala.
Cameron: We can't MRI him.
House: [irritably] Why not?
Cameron: [visibly embarrassed] Patient states he ate a gold fork and it never came out.
House: [takes a beat] Okay. X-ray him, and if there's a fork in there, get it out. Then MRI him.
