Comments on Season 8 episode 10
By biological anthropologist Kristina Killgrove
Size of skull and arch of maxilla aren't going to tell you much about sex and ancestry.
Would the mica and calcite crystals sparkle on xray like that? (Honestly don't know, but it
seems unlikely to me.
You can't diagnose metatarsalgia from bones, as it's a condition characterized by pain. But
sesamoid bone issues (i.e., sesamoiditis) can cause metatarsalgia, so perhaps I just heardwrong.
The Bones Tv Show is mostly accurate but there is a fair share of dramatization and inaccuracy
