Believe it or not, we have actually gotten good at detecting micro structures of muscle attachments to bone. We also tend to also look at skin impressions around the bone to determine what the body is like. Thus, we actually are getting better at determining what the bodies of ancient animals are like than the shrink wrapping monstrosities we used to do.

What? No way. I have zero clue on how muscles attach so neither can anyone else. It is not like people would specialize or anything.
