Building on the success, and maintaining the format, of the
best-selling Human and Nonhuman Bone Identification: A Color Atlas
(ISBN: 978-1-4200-6286-1), Comparative Bone Identification: Human
Subadult to Nonhuman presents new images of human bones
representing many states of maturation from neonate to 20 years
old. It also extends the scope of the former work by focusing on
the smaller bones of fetuses and young humans and comparing them to
bones of birds, reptiles, marine mammals, fish, and a frog that may
be confused with those of a subadult human. The book begins with a
section on general osteology and explains the major anatomical
differences between humans and other animals. The second section
compares human and nonhuman bones, categorized by type of bone, and
includes most of the major bones in humans and nonhumans. The third
section presents skeletons within species. Containing nearly 3,500
color photographs, the book provides examples of similar bones in
nonhuman species that may be confused with the human bone in
question. The bone images are also taken from different angles to
enhance detailed understanding. A practical comparative guide to
the differences among species for nearly all bones in the body,
this book is a valuable resource for the laboratory or in the
field. It uses a visual approach with annotations pointing out
salient features of the most commonly discovered bones, giving
clear examples for use by law enforcement, medicolegal death
investigators, forensic anthropologists, students, and readers who
wish to distinguish between human bones and those of the a variety
of animal species.
