Reviews
"Scholarly sleuth Schwartz actually helps solve murders while exploring human evolution." - Columbia Magazine "It demonstrates how the skills of the forensic anthropologist carry over to the study of ancient populations when these are represented by a preserved skeletal series in a mortuary deposit. . . . Schwartz ably demonstrates how through such investigations new data can become available on matters about which historical records and other archaeological materials are silent." - Science "In a field often ruled by cockiness, Schwartz's reticence to make judgments is refreshing. Related to this, and even more welcome, is his rejection of scientific dogma. . . . Schwartz gives us the bare bones and more about the science of osteological analysis." - Kirkus Reviews "Students of osteology and anatomy will learn much from Mr. Schwartz's book, which is actually several books in one. From his excavations of charred bones from an ancient Carthaginian cemetery, for instance, Mr. Schwartz presents evidence that the Carthaginians, infamous for their alleged practice of casting children into sacrificial flames, may have used aborted fetuses rather than live children as sacrifices. In another section of the book, Mr. Schwartz defends his belief that modern human beings are more closely related to orangutans than to either chimpanzees or gorillas. He believes this hotly contested view may be buttressed by the fact that of all female primates, only humans and orangutans lack an estrus cycle and are therefore always receptive to sexual activity."-Malcolm W. Browne, New York Times Book Review "An easily readable, informative, enjoyable, thought-provoking commentary, interspersed with warm, refreshing tales. . . . It should interest both general and medical readers, dealing as it does with a subject that is near and dear to our hearts: our bones." - Journal of the American Medical Association, "Scholarly sleuth Schwartz actually helps solve murders while exploring human evolution." — Columbia Magazine "It demonstrates how the skills of the forensic anthropologist carry over to the study of ancient populations when these are represented by a preserved skeletal series in a mortuary deposit. . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
