Infanticide the killing of newly born deformed or physically feeble infants by their parents is an ancient tradition. Numerous studies have shown that this practice is both prevalent among humans and animals. This paper examines this practice among traditional African societies, and explores its impetus and consequences. The paper also shows that although infanticide is an abnormal act; these societies have declared legitimate and acceptable. Folk explanation and cultural believes have dictated this practice and legitimized. The paper proposes that infanticide serves these societies in their environment and adaption as a preliminary preventive medicine. These societies are depended on independent individuals. |
