Can anyone give me a link to a site that explains and shows the physical differences (bone structure: cheek bones, chins, brows etc) between different races?

  1. Sir Edward B. Tylor's 'Anthropology: an introduction to the study of man and civilization'.  

    This book was first published in 1881, but it is still the best basic introduction to the discipline you wish to persue.  There is a reason why this is the case.


  2. Here is a site with some good links in the source area:

  3. http://www.nd.edu/~stephens/Forensics.pd...

    Basic Intro to Racial Identification

    For more detailed info you really need an osteology textbook or to look in the scholarly journals.

  4. http://www.anthrogirl.com/anthropage/rac...

    That site has a pretty good list of the features we check for when looking at morphological features.  The best thing to do though would be to buy a book, either Human Osteology by Bill Bass or Standards by Buikstra and Ubelaker.  Both explain exactly what to look for and includes diagrams of what these features look like.
