==Caption==
Genital Mutilations and Cranial Deformation and Swaddling

==Summary==
The first map shows the areas of the world where male genital mutilation was practiced. The map differentiates between:
* extremely severe forms (flaying, circumcision, subincision) - dark shaded areas
* forms of lesser severity - solid lines
Elaborated from the data advanced by Murdock (1967) and Montagu (1945,1946).

The second map shows the areas of the world where female genital mutilation was practiced:
* extremely severe forms (infibulation) - darker shaded areas
* severe forms (clitoridectomy, excision) - lighter shaded areas
* areas with presence of such practices, though unclear
Elaborated from the data advanced by Hosken (1979) and Montagu (1945,1946). 

The third map indicates where cranial deformation and swaddling took place: 
* areas where these practices were detected, and their diffusion patterns. 
Elaborated from the data advanced by Dingwall (1931).

"All maps are composed of data from native, aboriginal, subsistence-level peoples. In the Americas and Oceania, these data reflect conditions generally prior to the arrival of European settlers."
