Anthropologist

Tony White a forensics anthropologist, is taken (kidnapped) by the CIA with his ex Wife Rose Thomson a palentolgiest to a island only recently discovered that harbours a prehistoric secret that nobody in the CIA knows of. will they be able to survive this hellish jungle. ( sorry for the bad puns)

The book begins much as you described. An anthropologist is listening to members of a primitive tribe talk about how a werewolf had been killing people, twelve years ago, in sprees which always occurred during a full moon, until the tribal shaman was able to come up with a way to kill the monster. The scholar is interested in letting them talk, but personally suspects the "werewolf" was something like a victim of rabies who foamed at the mouth and seemed inhumanly strong as he went on a rampage -- although it is odd that he would survive long enough to launch three killing sprees at monthly intervals. The scholar silently speculates that perhaps there were multiple rabid attackers, in a monthly cycle -- each new one having been infected by the previous before he died of his disease, and only the last of them was somehow trapped and killed by the men of the tribe, who then blamed this "monster" for all of the previous killings. The scholar is trying to be polite, but evidently his skepticism shows through. The shaman is offended at being patronized by a white man who thinks he already knows all the answers. The shaman had kept a souvenir of the werewolf, dried out and in powdered form, believing it still contained the power to create another werewolf if need be. The shaman (called "Ugalde") puts that special powder into a bottle of whiskey and then . . . With the swiftness of a man half his age, the Indian leaped from a sitting position onto the other's chest, as if he were pinning him in some friendly athletic contest. But the crazed expression covering his face and the keenness of the knife blade removed any trace of ordinary competition from the action. Ugalde sat the bottle viciously on the ground next to the visitor's face and tipped the neck of it toward his mouth. "Drink," he ordered. "Ugalde!" the man cried frantically. Visions of wriggling microbes being revitalized by the liquor flooded his mind. Could any life survive for a dozen years in such a dehydrated state? Yes, yes, viruses could live for centuries! "What in the name of God are you doing?" A sneer replaced the sullen look the older man had worn. "Your god! You believe your eye, white man, and only that, so drink and see what the devils you don't know can cause a living spirit to become! Drink, or I will cut your throat!" Then a good chunk of the book deals with brutal murders taking place, always on the night of a full moon, and various characters getting interested in the investigation, for various reasons. At first, there's a serious lack of surviving eyewitnesses to describe the mysterious attacker to the cops, but gradually the evidence accumulates that something strongly resembling a Hollywood-style werewolf is involved in these homicides. We readers, of course, have a very good idea of how that happened. Then another large chunk of the book deals with what happens in one horrible night after the anthropologist has been taken into custody. (I think he finally surrendered himself to the police, voluntarily, and described everything he could remember about the incident with the shaman, and what's happened since then on the nights with full moons in the sky.) You are correct that becoming a werewolf appeared to be a type of communicable disease, although I can't recall if it was specifically established, during the novel, to be a "germ" or "virus" or what. You are also correct that silver was particularly effective against a werewolf. Other weapons could pierce its flesh, but it appeared to recover very rapidly from such wounds. (Sort of like Wolverine's mutant "healing factor" in the X-Men comics and movies.)

Lasila creates a dating profile at the insistence of her best friend when she graduates college and accepts a job for the Inter-Galactic Colonial Council. Lasila was about to embark on an adventure of a lifetime. She was now one of the leading anthropologists for the exploration teams. But the chances of her meeting anyone were pretty slim, except for her personal team. As she landed on the space station where she would be assigned to her new job Lasila was told about a site where she could meet people, it was called Gal-inder. But will this lead to lust, or love? For Lasila it would be hard to tell as she had never been romantically involved with anyone before. Perhaps it would lead to more than one encounter? Drusain had been on leave for over a year, and had finally gotten the medical clearance to go back to active duty. While he had been out on medical his social life had completely tanked. Even though he had been cleared for duty once more his commanding officer had deployed him and a small team to an outlying planet still being explored. Rather boring if you asked him. To top it off he would have a whole new team, none of his old squad had lived. Only him. It shouldn’t have bothered him much, as a Nav’illi he was trained from birth that emotions were a weakness and as such he had no need for them. But he was lonely. He wanted people to talk to, or a person. His commanding officer had suggested an inter-galactic dating site, said it would be good for him.

The United States of America (U.S.A. or USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S. or US) or America, is a country primarily located in North America. It consists of 50 states, a federal district, five major unincorporated territories, 326 Indian reservations, and some minor possessions.[g] At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million square kilometers), it is the world's third- or fourth-largest country by total area.[c] With a population of more than 331 million people, it is the third most populous country in the world. The national capital is Washington, D.C., and the most populous city is New York City.has been generally accepted that the first inhabitants of North America migrated from Siberia by way of the Bering land bridge and arrived at least 12,000 years ago; however, some evidence suggests an even earlier date of arrival.[32][33][34] The Clovis culture, which appeared around 11,000 BC, is believed to represent the first wave of human settlement of the Americas.[35][36] This was likely the first of three major waves of migration into North America; later waves brought the ancestors of present-day Athabaskans, Aleuts, and Eskimos.[37] Over time, indigenous cultures in North America grew increasingly complex, and some, such as the pre-Columbian Mississippian culture in the southeast, developed advanced agriculture, architecture, and complex societies.[38] The city-state of Cahokia is the largest, most complex pre-Columbian archaeological site in the modern-day United States.[39] In the Four Corners region, Ancestral Puebloan culture developed from centuries of agricultural experimentation.[40] The Haudenosaunee, located in the southern Great Lakes region, was established at some point between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries.[41] Most prominent along the Atlantic coast were the Algonquian tribes, who practiced hunting and trapping, along with limited cultivation. Estimating the native population of North America at the time of European contact is difficult.[42][43] Douglas H. Ubelaker of the Smithsonian Institution estimated that there was a population of 92,916 in the south Atlantic states and a population of 473,616 in the Gulf states,[44] but most academics regard this figure as too low.[42] Anthropologist Henry F. Dobyns believed the populations were much higher, suggesting around 1.1 million along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, 2.2 million people living between Florida and Massachusetts, 5.2 million in the Mississippi Valley and tributaries, and around 700,000 people in the Florida peninsula

There were mysterious murders taking place at District 12 every last weekend of the month and the serial killer was at large. "Our killer was not just deliberately peeling of the face of his victims. He was also eviscerating their body and purging out their organs, particularly their hearts. It was like the killer wanted to remove everything that made one human." Two people who used to be high school friends and also shared a painful past; both lost a loved one on an incident that happened six years ago decided to join hands to solve this mystery. One was retired a forensic anthropologist who turned a new leaf and chose to become a professor at a medical school While the other was a former law enforcement officer who had decided to be into seminary and was just a step away from becoming an officially ordained priest Will they be able to identify the notorious killer that lurked the shadows of their district???

With time, half the humanity has already started abandoning their fleshly natural bodies they were born with for stronger implants and far superior cybernetic limbs with cybernetic modifications, the disparity between the two only grew more, so much so that eventually the two cannot even be compared on the same standards. Such that Anthropologists, scientists, and scholars of various profession all around the world were already convinced and believed that Cybernetic modification and implants will have a major impact on humanity’s evolutionary path forward within the confines of our own human technology without the intereference or discovery of alien species. But it all took a slight turn in the year 2184, later dubbed beginning of the Era of The Ark. As nobody expected, the invetion of a tool that will drive humanity’s evolution in unimaginable ways, much less for it to be a Game and your avatar to be Organisms of several kinds. The Ark, a game that allowed people an opportunity to transcend and become existences comparable to Gods. (I do not own the Cover, If you'd like me to take it down or give credit, let me know)
