What personality traits make someone good at physical anthropology?
I’m very curious. I’ve been trained to recognize good questions. The Longley case turned out to be a very complicated project. I told Ted Wax (possible, but as-yet-unproven descendent of Wild Bill) that we’d try to help him [to identify Wild Bill’s remains] so I was going to do my best, even if it took fifteen years. So, you need persistence. You have to love learning; you have to have enthusiasm.
