The 'Race' of a Skeleton May Be Determined by a Forensic

question 56

Multiple Choice

• B) the focus on the skeleton diverts us from attending to more relevant features of a person's life, like national origin, occupation, education, and so on.
• C) Actually, it is never problematic and it is not the subject of debate.
• D) doing so perpetuates the myth that human beings are divisible into bounded sub-species
• E) All of the answers (except the 'never' one) are correct.
