Human Osteology, Second Edition includes nearly a decade of advances in osteological research since the first edition. Each chapter has been strengthened and updated, including a new chapter on molecular osteology and four new case studies drawn from more recent research. This edition also includes a valuable guide to electronic resources in osteology. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of exceptional photographs and drawings specifically designed to show a maximum amount of anatomical information. Skeletal parts shown life-size for ease of study and use. Four new case studies emphasize the correct and positive identification of human bones and teeth, which is fundmental in paleontology, archaeology, and forensic science.
