Welcome to Beyond the Knife– where history and medicine collide.In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Robert Mann, a forensic anthropologist at the University of Hawai‘i’s John A. Burns School of Medicine. Dr. Mann specialises in the analysis of human skeletal remains, using anatomical and biological evidence to reconstruct aspects of an individual’s identity, life history, and, in some cases, the circumstances surrounding their death.He discusses a compelling case that originated at a homeless encampment in Hawai‘i-an example that illustrates the depth of information preserved within the human skeleton.This episode is hosted by Chanté St Clair Inglis Director of Heritage and Estates at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.Produced by Jordanna Kielty-O'Neill and Keshena Goldie for Surgeons Hall Museums, Library and Archives.Music Credit: Zap SplatFor more information about Surgeons Hall Museums and The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Library and Archives please see our websitesHome - Surgeons' Hall Museums, EdinburghHome | Library & Archive The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Hosted on Acast.
