Our bones are silent witnesses of the life we lead, and our entire biography is recorded on them. Based on years of research and vast professional experience, the world-renowned forensic anthropologist, Officer of the Order of the British Empire Professor Sue Black invites us on an amazing journey full of unexpected discoveries. Every part of our body from crown to toe - skull, face, spine, rib cage, arms, pelvis, legs - tells its own story. Everything we eat, where we go, what we do leaves a mark that patiently waits months, years, or even centuries until the forensic anthropologist undertakes to decipher it. Some of this information is obvious, but the rest is a complete secret, which requires scientific knowledge to solve. Collecting information bit by bit, you can restore the details of a person's life. In each case - criminal, historical or simply unusual - Sue Black, with her characteristic thoughtfulness and constant compassion, tells the bones of the story about what remains after us.
