Bone cells retain "biogeographical" information that is found in our DNA. These inherited markers are due to mutational changes that gradually accumulate and differentiate populations over time. DNA can help associate an individual with a region of the world.
We can also assess ancestral origins by looking at the skeleton itself. The bones of the skull express inherited features from one generation to the next. Measuring the cranium gives us information that is similar to that from DNA. By comparing a skull's measurements with data from populations worldwide, scientists can statistically evaluate that individual's relationship to a world group.
Wow, just wow.
