The Identification of the Human Skeleton is a book written by Thomas Dwight in 1878. It is a medico-legal study that focuses on the identification of human remains through the examination of the skeleton. The book was awarded the prize of the Massachusetts Medical Society in the same year it was published. The book begins with an introduction to the importance of identifying human remains in criminal investigations and other legal contexts. It then delves into the anatomy of the human skeleton, describing each bone and its distinguishing features. Dwight also discusses the various methods of identifying human remains, including the use of dental records, DNA analysis, and physical characteristics such as height and bone structure. He also covers the process of identifying remains that have been damaged or altered in some way, such as those that have been burned or decomposed. Throughout the book, Dwight provides numerous case studies and examples of successful identifications, as well as those that were unsuccessful. He also includes illustrations and photographs to aid in the identification process. Overall, The Identification of the Human Skeleton is a comprehensive guide to the medico-legal study of human remains. It is a valuable resource for forensic scientists, medical professionals, and anyone interested in the field of criminal investigation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
