This book presents a fascinating exploration into the ways human skeletal and dental remains can contribute to historical, cultural, sociological, and even forensic research. The author takes a deep dive into the study of skeletal and dental remains, an area rooted in 19th-century research but has only recently gained popularity within broader anthropological research. This book presents research on ancient and not-so-ancient human remains with the goal of illuminating aspects of our past and present life. The author explores how skeletal remains can reveal details about evolutionary biology, migration patterns, past cultures and societies, and even impact our understanding of modern medicine. The author includes detailed case studies to illustrate the potential insights to be gleaned from skeletal and dental remains, with topics ranging from the evolution of the human brain to the analysis of mass graves and identification of victims of genocide. Serving as a synthesis of existing research and presenting the author's own extensive research, this book will be of great interest to biological anthropologists as well as historians, archaeologists, and readers with an interest in human origins.
