Dead Men Do Tell Tales
Dead Men Do Tell Tales: The Strange and Fascinating Cases of a Forensic Anthropologist | William R. Maples, Michael Browning
From a skeleton, a skull, a mere fragment of burnt thighbone, Dr. William Maples can deduce the age, gender, and ethnicity of a murder victim, the manner in which the person was dispatched, and, ultimately, the identity of the killer. In Dead Men Do Tell Tales, Dr. Maples revisits his strangest, most interesting, and most horrific investigations, from the baffling cases of conquistador Francisco Pizarro and Vietnam MIAs to the mysterious deaths of President Zachary Taylor and the family of Czar Nicholas II. From the Trade Paperback edition.

An interesting memoir i read for #scienceseptember.

I wonder how much the field has advanced since Dr. Maples was alive.

My second #scienceseptember read.

Science September is a hashtag on instagram. Unfortunately I forgot whose “hosting” it, but i heard about it on Reading Envy the podcast. I don‘t have an instagram so I figured I would do it here ☺️ #forensics #anthropology

ReadingEnvy Here is fine too! It's my friend Lauren who is @end.notes on Instagram but isn't in Litsy. 6y

“Like one, that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round, walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread….
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
The Rime of the Ancient Manner”

When 2 anthropology grad students fall in love and get married and years later their kid volunteers one to speak to the 7th grade on Monday, this shows up on the dining room table. I came home after a night of drinking to find "Richard" spending the night. Hey, buddy!
