First, I have found that forensic anthropologists attain a high degree of accuracy in determining geographic racial affinities (white, black, American Indian, etc.) by utilizing both new and traditional methods of bone analysis. Many well-conducted studies were reported in the late 1980s and 1990s that test methods objectively for percentage of correct placement. Numerous individual methods involving midfacial measurements, femur traits, and so on are over 80 percent accurate alone, and in combination produce very high levels of accuracy. No forensic anthropologist would make a racial assessment based upon just one of these methods, but in combination they can make very reliable assessments, just as in determining sex or age. In other words, multiple criteria are the key to success in all of these determinations.

PMs?

Although I'd probably edit every post in my old TMO PETITIONS thread to an autoplay of 'Going to the Store'

It doesn't let you go that far back in time lol. You are overestimating the power of the RnF edit.

as far as i can tell, autotune is blowing smoke. every attempt to edit a post is greeted by a permissions error. unless autotune has secret admin powers. lol
