In reply to the discussion: Rand Paul in Serious Pain - I Hope He Avoids Opioid Addiction [View all]Grammy23
(6,124 posts)41. It WAS a very cool class. Anthropology was my minor so it was an elective.
I really had no idea when I signed up for the class exactly what we would be doing, but I was curious enough to sign up. My teacher was an expert in rebuilding faces on a skull to try to help ID who a person was. One day she rebuilt a half of a face using clay. It was interesting to watch her rebuild the structure of the face and see it come to life. It was rather lifeless until she inserted a glass eye. Oh, my! There was an audible gasp when she added the eye because the face then took on a very life like appearance. We could get a definite idea of what the person may have looked like alive.
There are also formulas to use to estimate height and weight of a person. Plus there are definite differences in hips and facial structures between male and female. So when trained experts work to ID remains they can use those formulas to get a better description of the person.

I think "neighbor" ran up behind him & shoved him. All in the way one falls & what he fell on.
