The skeletal remains belonging to members of the lost Franklin Expedition will be the focus of an anthropology talk at UNBC on Thursday. 

The presentation features guest lecturer Dr. Anne Keenleyside, who is an Assistant Professor at Trent University.

Topics addressed will include the health status of the crew, the evidence for cannibalism, the geographic origins of the crew members, and their genetic profiles.

The presentation is the second of UNBC’s Anthropology in Our Backyard Series.
