The first book on forensic anthropology in Hong Kong, the three works in the "Remaining Sounds of the Bones" series have been awarded as one of the "Top Ten Best Books" for middle school students for three consecutive years.
The phenomenon of body decomposition after death is really the most mysterious thing in nature! You can't help but marvel at how complex the human body systems are and how dependent they are on each other to maintain the simplest function of breathing.
Forensic anthropologists are primarily responsible for dealing with carrion and bones? They are called "bone advocates" because they firmly believe that bones tell stories, and it is the duty of forensic anthropologists to speak for themselves and make the stories of the owners of the bones known to the world.
Forensic anthropology is an applied anthropology that applies physical anthropology, archaeology, cultural anthropology and other scientific knowledge to the legal level. In addition to using the bones to find out the background information and cause of death of the deceased, it can also interpret the bones. cultural processes of society. Imagine what clues our descendants will find on our bones in the future from this era? After a few generations, future generations may discover that the cervical vertebrae of the skeletons of our era are excessively worn, or are commonly known as "head-bowed people". And we will be the last generation of humans to experience a world without the Internet.
The legal prosecution period is only fifty years. Fifty years later, they will only become archaeological discoveries. Among the specimens, only the bones can be preserved for a long time. Therefore, even if they are far away from the legal prosecution period, at least from the perspective of forensic anthropology, the voiceless people can still be given an identity, a face, and a truth.
