Subject: Re: Mis-identifications by forensic anthropologists

Jonathan,

First, my experience is that misidentifications like this are more likely to be made by medical examiners or coroners, than by forensic anthropologists. That being said, see:

Dupras, TL, et al. 2012. Forensic Recovery of Human Remains: Archaeological Approaches, 2nd edition. CRC Press, New York. [Has a whole section on animal bones commonly mistaken for human bones]


Ferraro, JV, and KM Binetti. 2012. American alligator proximal pedal phalanges resemble human finger bones: Diagnostic criteria for forensic investigations. Forensic Sci Int 240:151.e1-7.


Gregory, W.K. 1927. Hesperopithecus apparently not an ape nor a man. Science 66(1720):579-581. [Famous case of “Nebraska Man.” Pig teeth misidentified as primate]


Ubelaker, DH, et al. 1991. Differentiation of hydrocephalic calf and human calvariae. J. Foren. Sci. 36(3):801-812.


Numerous papers have been written on human hand vs bear paw osteology in a forensic context.


... and Piltdown Man (orang mandible).

Dear colleagues,

does anyone know of published compilations of mis-identifications of skeletal elements by forensic anthropologists? I'm interested in non-human specimens mistaken for human, and also human misidentified as non-human.

Hi, Jonathan: Well, the very most famous example of this that I am aware of

of the University of Nebraska published a deciduous pig M1/ as human,
calling it a "Tertiary human". I don't have the exact reference but a little

Nebraska is home to both Nebraska Loess Man (skulls that Barbour and others thought were Neanderthals, but are actually recent humans) and Nebraska Man ( a tooth that Henry Fairfield Osborn thought was a fossil hominoid but is actually an extinct peccary). Duncan Strong thoroughly reviewed both finds in his book An Introduction to Nebraska Archaeology (1935). I don't know if anyone felt the need to re-review them since.

Subject: Re: Mis-identifications by forensic anthropologists

Many years ago (about 1988), when I was at Indiana University, Prof. Della Cook (Anthropology) told me a story about a medical examiner for the State of Indiana that had consulted with her about a human corpse that was brought to him by the police. The corpse headless, handless, and footless. He had taken x-rays, but was not able to make any kind of official determination as to who belonged to. In those days, medical examiners had no way to attempt to identify who or what it was - such as dna. After she examined it, she was able to identify there that had been skinned. In the skin process, the hands, foot and head had been taken away with the skin. It is not surprising that such a mistake was made given the similarity in bones when viewed through x-rays between humans and bears particularly when the extremities and heads are removed. I don’t know if it was ever published. But it is a classic situation that has entered the osteological folklore. Are use it in my teaching.
All the best

Ahh! Thanks, Craig, for straightening me out. I had conflated the two. Will
have to look up the book you mention..I imagine K.U. has a copy. Cheers -

Nebraska is home to both Nebraska Loess Man (skulls that Barbour and others
thought were Neanderthals, but are actually recent humans) and Nebraska Man
( a tooth that Henry Fairfield Osborn thought was a fossil hominoid but is
actually an extinct peccary). Duncan Strong thoroughly reviewed both finds
in his book An Introduction to Nebraska Archaeology (1935). I don't know if
anyone felt the need to re-review them since.

Hi, Jonathan: Well, the very most famous example of this that I am aware of
(other than the Piltdown Hoax) was circa 1909, when Erwin Hinckley Barbour
of the University of Nebraska published a deciduous pig M1/ as human,
calling it a "Tertiary human". I don't have the exact reference but a little
digging should bring it up. Cheers - Deb Bennett

Dear colleagues,

does anyone know of published compilations of mis-identifications of
skeletal elements by forensic anthropologists? I'm interested in non-human
specimens mistaken for human, and also human misidentified as non-human.

Hi Jon,

Maybe the chapter "Differentiating Human from Nonhuman Skeletal Remains"
and the literature at the end of it in:

Soren Blau & Douglas H. Ubelaker (2009); Handbook of Forensic
Archaeology and Anthropology. (p. 153-163)

could be a starting point.

Anyway, your question is very interesting and I will be very interested
in your findings

Best,

Norbert
