“The Hand of Unknown Origin”

Comparing the skeletal structure of a bear paw to "The Hand of Unknown Origin"…Some people just wish it was waving goodbye…

Bear Human Comparison

The above illustration comes from this article that was pointed out to me by Cryptomundo reader ilexoak. 

This article is about a case where a foot and a hand were found in Utah last year. At first, they were thought to be of human origin. Two doctors, a pathologist, the death investigator and the police chief all thought that they were human. Sounds all too familiar…

It wasn’t until the state medical examiner’s office X-rayed the foot that it was discovered that it was a bear paw, not a human foot.

An interesting comparison with the "The Hand of Unknown Origin" if you ask me.
