“[Davidson] Black procured cadavers for research, obtained from the Peking police department. These cadavers were mostly of people who had been executed for various crimes; the police regularly sent Black truckloads of the bodies of the executed convicts.

After some time, he asked the police whether there was any possibility of getting better dead bodies for research - corpses that were intact. The next day, he received a shipment of convicts, all chained together, with a note from the police asking him to kill them in any way he chose.” ChinaAnatomyMedical ResearchCadavers Book:The Jesuit and the Skull: Teilhard de Chardin, Evolution, and the Search for Peking Man Source: The Jesuit and the Skull: Teilhard de Chardin, Evolution, and the Search for Peking Man
