Our stories are marbled into their marrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing upon her years of research and a wealth of remarkable experience, the world-renowned forensic anthropologist Professor Dame Sue Black takes us on a journey of revelation. From skull to feet, via the face, spine, chest, arms, hands, pelvis and legs, she shows that each part of us has a tale to tell. What we eat, where we go, everything we do leaves a trace, a message that waits patiently for months, years, sometimes centuries, until a forensic anthropologist is called upon to decipher it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome of this information is easily understood, some holds its secrets tight and needs scientific cajoling to be released.
