The Skull
Today we reached the skull. I'm sure many people wonder about that image, especially when they see someone with an especially round face, or a long face, or a heart-shaped face or whatever. Not everyone has that angular, skeletal look that strongly hints at what lies beneath. Sometimes, you might wonder whether Matt Damon and Lawrence Fishbourne could possibly have such similar bone structure, but in fact they do.
Our cadaver, Ralph, had more of a Fishbourne-eque face, rounded and with softer features, but guess what? Remove the skin, some fatty layers, muscular layers, and viola - classic skull.
It's a strange thought for some, that everyone's bony structure looks the same, but others who may have lost (or gained) significant amounts of weight might be all too familiar with the way facial features can change drastically with the loss or gain of some extra fat (or a facelift).
It just goes to show, once again, that we all are way more similar than we are different.
