It delves into the various religious and therapeutic uses of feces and urine across different cultures, examining their significance in rituals, folk medicine, and historical practices around the world. Bourke bases his findings on original observations and an extensive compilation of over a thousand scholarly works.  The opening of the dissertation lays the groundwork for discussing the often-repulsive but culturally significant rites associated with excrement. Bourke highlights the universality of these practices in human history, suggesting that they are deeply intertwined with the spiritual and medicinal beliefs of primitive peoples. He recounts firsthand experiences observing the "Urine Dance" of the Zuñi tribe in New Mexico, where participants engage in the consumption of urine as part of a ritual aimed at fortifying the body against various challenges. Through these observations, Bourke sets the stage for an exploration of the ancient and enduring relationship between humanity and these natural substances, revealing their relevance in understanding the religious impulses and cultural practices that have shaped human civilization.
