Dwarfism History

dwarfism history

Many prominent people with dwarfism have existed throughout history.
Some held high positions within the royal courts of ancient Egypt, while
others were hidden away, enslaved or dismissed. The degree of exclusion
and prejudice that people with dwarfism currently experience is neither
natural nor universal, as inclusion and acceptance has varied greatly
over time and between cultures.
