Hundreds of 19th-century skulls collected in the name of medical science tell a story of who mattered and who didn’t - Business Mirror

Quick Summary:

WHEN I started my research on the Samuel George Morton Cranial Collection, a librarian leaned over my laptop one day to share some lore.

"Legend has it,” she said, "John James Audubon really collected the skulls Morton claimed as his own.” Her voice was lowered so as not to disturb the other scholars in the hushed archive.

If used as teaching tools, Morton drilled holes to hang the skulls for display and notated them with the names of skeletal elements and features.
