After reading Dead Men Do Tell Tales, I learned that bones could tell a lot about the life of a person: the diseases they had, the injuries they sustained, how they died. . .
Because of this, bones could be very useful in solving murder cases or convicting a wanted criminal, as seen in the many cases that the author, William R. Maples, P.H.D., helped solve.
I would not be a forensic anthropologist because I feel that there is something very haunting and ghostly in looking at someone's remains who used to be a real, live person just like me.
