There is a picture on page 47 of  "The Complete World of Human Evolution" 
but this is old news and I consider it to be common knowledge. To put it 
another way I guess I've read the same thing in dozens of sources some of 
which weren't focused on the remote past but rather the way things were in 
the recent past or even at the present from the point of view of the author.

The bones which were laying around in a modern cemetery were collected by 
busy body anthropologist doing some semi grave robbing to use for comparison 
with ancient remains. Why you would wish to make me explain this to you is 
beyond me because I'm sure you understood what I meant and I'm sure that you 
already know that cultural and many physical anthropologist are pretty much 
grave robbing body snatchers in practice or by proxy otherwise they don't 
have much material to work with.

You have fun now.
