The Skull Collectors - Race, Science, and America's Unburied Dead
Ann Fabian
When Philadelphia naturalist Samuel George Morton died in 1851, no one cut off his head, boiled away its flesh, and added his grinning skull to a collection of crania. This title tells the strange - and at times gruesome - story of Morton, his contemporaries, and their search for a scientific foundation for racial difference.
