Being surrounded by human skeletons makes me feel alive. Every drawer in the photo contains human remains. . I was the kid who wanted to see what bodies and bones looked like after death in cemetaries, and now I get to work at an amazing museum, @gocmnh, with a world famous human osteology collection, the Hamann-Todd Human Osteological Collection. . This collection contains more than 3,000 cadaver-derived human skeletons collected by Carl A. Hamann and T. Wingate Todd between 1912 and 1938. Superb documentation makes this the world’s largest documented collection of modern human skeletal remains. Researchers from all over the world can study how various diseases affect the skeletal system. Most of these diseases have been eradicated by vaccinations and modern medicine, making this collection incredibly important. . The Hamann-Todd Human Osteological Collection is accessible for legitimate research and study by qualified investigators. Access is free for non-commercial use.
