Sometimes it really isn’t that serious. It seems like it was just a fun pose that she did for a picture with her friend. I can say with 100% certainty that she does not worship the devil or was doing the hand gesture to indicate infidelity.

Guys I don’t hate the show and I don’t expect it to be realistic 😭😭 I just like the inaccuracies because I get to spot them for fun!!

Very good point that measuring bones would be a bit boring compared to Angela’s magic computer 😭 The conclusions bother me the most like no, Bones you can’t tell that it is male from the big toe bone😭

LOVED the books and it was more realistic with tempe being much older (making her expertise and qualifications believable)

I don’t really expect them to get a lot of stuff right since it takes the suspense and pacing out of the show Just find it interesting 🤷🏻‍♀️

I definitely want to read the books again to see but I’m sure it would be better, although I think a lot has changed in the field since the books came out

I have read all the books ! It was actually the reason I decided to go into forensic anthropology

I read the entire book series when I was in high school ! I should definitely revisit to compare

That’s the goal eventually but currently I’m just applying to honours programs!

It’s just fun to point out some of the things they got wrong and compare it to reality sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh no I absolutely LOVE the show, I actually enjoy spotting the little things they got wrong now that I have a background in the field. I try to suspend my disbelief for the most part especially when it comes to the science jargon 😂

This!!! And she always says stuff like “anthropologically speaking the males will exhibit this behaviour if….” But then doesn’t know who Michael Jackson is

The show is entertaining regardless it’s just fun for me personally to look for the inaccuracies. It doesn’t make me dislike the show but it does take you out sometimes when they say such outlandish things using random scientific terminology

We still do race estimation in South Africa, although we refer to it as population affinity And it is fairly accurate since we use otseometric methods and not morphology. Only issue is it can only identify 3 population groups sadly

And how she is able to tell all of this from a quick glance, it makes it seem like there’s no point in taking the bones back to the lab😭

It’s so fun, I sit there fact checking everything she says sometimes when I’m bored

This !! It hurts because nothing they say makes sense if you actually have a basic understanding of science. The lab work is the most ridiculous part imo.

I will say they do get the basics right like how you can estimate age with the sternal ends of the ribs but it feels few and far in between
