I feel like this is stupid question and I just can’t brain today but here goes…
This came about while I was reading about 9/11 earlier (am not American) but I’m now questioning a lot of things. Anyway, I read there’s still something like 1,000 human remains yet to be identified from that day; so how does that work in any case? If we know who is unaccounted for and there are bodies, why can’t they be matched up?
In: Biology
Most of the remains from then are incomplete and severely damaged body parts, without DNA from the person before they died identifying remains is extremely difficult. You may have 60 right legs and know that one of them belongs to John Smith, but you can’t be sure which one.
