摘要:“Beautiful History and Beastly Science. Human science and the natural history of mankind” is a multidisciplinary educational project realised in 2010 by the Section of Anthropology of the National Museum of Prehistory and Ethnography “L. Pigorini”, along with the participation of the “Augusto Righi” high school in Rome. The aims of the project were (1) to present science in a new and stimulating perspective for students; (2) to share purposes and methodologies of the scientific research; (3) to show how the humanities and the scientific culture can and should collaborate in conjoint projects. These were achieved by making the students realize firsthand some bio- anthropological analyses of skeletal material from ancient human populations, following the very same methods and approaches that nowadays characterize advanced anthropological studies.
