I really enjoyed it, it’s by the forensic anthropologist who examined the tsar’s family.

I wish I used my degree! I majored in biological anthropology, which is essentially evolutionary biology. My main concentration was in forensics, which deals a lot of skeletal anatomy, because I wanted to solve murders and such. However, because SO MANY people are getting into the field now (the SVU Effect), there aren't very many jobs available here. You pretty much need an MS or PhD to get anywhere in this career. I've worked a few cases and I'd like to pursue it further, but grad school isn't in the cards for me at the moment. I'm trying to find a job in a different field, but it's proving to be near impossible! It doesn't really help that I'm in Austin, and pretty much everything here is in technology.
ANYWAY, that was a novel. But, if you're really interested, you should definitely look into it! If you're interested in a career in forensics, there are excavation digs that you can join in on without a degree in South America and Africa. Some of my classmates had worked on sites excavating mass graves and their work was really important in the war crimes trial of a former Guatemalan dictator. Or, if you're just interested in the subject and would like to read more about it, I'd totally recommend this book by one of the best forensic anthropologists about some of his most famous investigations.
I read Dead Men Do Tell Tales a long time ago, it made a lasting impression.
It's by a forensic anthropologist writing about the science behind some of the cases he's been involved in.
Well, you've got that right. Dead men DO tell tales!
