El gobierno mexicano ubica el sitio en el que, según los testimonios de los primeros detenidos, los 43 desaparecidos de Ayotzinapa fueron incinerados y arrojados a un río. Es un basurero en un pueblo cerca de Iguala. La Procuraduría lleva al sitio a observadores de la ONU y a fotógrafos de prensa. Mientras la atención está puesta en el basurero, un fotoperiodista descubre por su cuenta acciones sospechosas en un río cercano, y toma un video. La Procuraduría lleva a ese río a Mercedes Doretti, la jefa del equipo argentino forense que llegó a México a petición de las familias. Ahí le muestran evidencias y le presentan a un joven detenido que, aterrado, confiesa el crimen. Ella sospecha que lo torturaron. El mismo día, en la Ciudad de México, las familias confrontan al presidente Enrique Peña Nieto en una tensa reunión privada en Los Pinos. Días después, se presentan los avances de la investigación en una conferencia de prensa que el procurador termina con la frase “Ya me cansé”, que se convierte en un grito de guerra en las calles.  Después de Ayotzinapa es una co-producción de Adonde Media con Reveal y el Archivo de Seguridad Nacional de Estados Unidos, presentada por Animal Político. La investigación original de la serie corrió a cargo de Anayansi Díaz-Cortés y Kate Doyle.

En 2016, al final de mi entrevista para MILENIO con Mercedes Doretti y Miguel Nieva, del Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense, después de presentar su informe de actividades que incluyó la conclusión de que no hay evidencia en el basurero de Cocula que sustente las declaraciones de imputados respecto a que los 43 estudiantes de la normal de Ayotzinapa fueron quemados ahí... Duda razonable

Scientists have thought about burial—the act of interring a dead body—as a distinctly human behavior. So what happened when a group of paleoanthropologists discovered a primitive hominid that may have entombed its dead?    And how do people respond when they are unable to find and care for the remains of their loved ones? SAPIENS host Jen Shannon talks to Mercedes Doretti, co-founder of the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, about the 38,000 people who have disappeared in Mexico since 2006. They discuss forensic scientists’ strategies in cases in which missing migrants cannot be found and others in which remains have not yet been identified.    Paige Madison is a Ph.D. candidate at Arizona State University, where she studies the history of paleoanthropology. Her dissertation research examines the history of research on Neanderthals, Australopithecines, and Homo floresiensis. She blogs and tweets about fossils and the history of science. Follow her on Twitter @FossilHistory.   Mercedes Doretti is a forensic anthropologist who investigates human rights violations. She is a co-founder of the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF), where she directs the Central America, North America section. Doretti was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2007 for her work with the EAAF. She completed an advanced degree (Licenciatura) in 1987 from the University of Buenos Aires  in Argentina, and she took courses in biological anthropology at Hunter College, City University of New York.

Among the women that history overlooked are Yelena Malyutina, Queen Muhumuza, Dame Janet Vaughan, Rosalind Franklin, Nazma Akter, Sizani Ngubane, Salika Amara, Mercedes Doretti and Morfydd Owen. This special edition of The History Hour explores the lives and achievements of women scientists, fighters, musicians and trade unionists. Yelena Malyutina served in the women's bomber regiment in the Soviet Airforce during World War II. She was hit by anti-aircraft fire but managed to land her plane and survive internal injuries. Queen Muhumuza was an anti-colonial rebel leader in modern-day Southern Uganda. She and her supporters fought the British, the Germans and the Belgians during the early 20th Century. Dame Janet Vaughan was a doctor and scientist, and expert in blood diseases who worked in London in the mid-20th Century. Rosalind Franklin was a chemist who contributed to the discovery of the DNA double-helix. Her colleagues James Watson and Francis Crick won the Nobel prize for medicine for this work after her death. Nazma Akter is a trade union organiser in the garments industry in Bangladesh. She remembers the terrible factory fire that first shocked her into union activism back in December 1990. Sizani Ngubane founded the Rural Women's Movement in South Africa 20 years ago to help protect women's access to vital farming land. Salika Amara is a French Algerian theatre director. She takes us back to the 1970s in Paris when she staged her first play about the lives of immigrant women. Mercedes Doretti is a forensic anthropologist who has dedicated her life to uncovering the evidence of human rights atrocities. Morfydd Owen was a young Welsh composer who died in 1918. Her compositions have been rediscovered and published, and performed for the first time. With guests Professor Jane Humphries of Oxford University and Dr Amrita Shodhan, from the School of Oriental and African Studies, London University. Image: Group of women, Credit: Thinkstock

In the early 1980s Mercedes Doretti, a student of anthropology in Buenos Aires, began helping in the search for some of the victims of Argentina's military rule. She went on to form the prestigious Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, which has carried out exhumations in more than 30 countries. Her work gathering evidence of some of the worst atrocities of our times, has taken her to Bosnia, South Africa, El Salvador and Mexico. Mercedes spoke to Mike Lanchin about the challenges of her harrowing task and about a life-time dedicated to the cause of truth and justice.

With an Argentinean scientist, we explore the human landscape of forensic sciences and its emergence as a tool for human rights. Doretti has unearthed bones and stories of the dead and “the disappeared” in more than 30 countries, including victims of Argentina’s Dirty War, over two decades. She shares her perspective on reparation, the need to bury our dead, and the many facets of justice.

Mercedes Doretti is co-founder and senior researcher of the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF). She received a MacArthur “genius” grant for her work in 2007.
