Forensic Anthropology is the application of anthropological methods and techniques to legal settings, particularly in the identification of human skeletal remains. This field plays a crucial role in solving crimes, aiding in disaster victim identification, and helping in archaeology. Forensic anthropologists analyze skeletal features to determine age, sex, ancestry, and trauma, providing valuable information to law enforcement. This article explores the methodologies used, the importance of forensic anthropology in the justice system, and case studies that highlight its impact.
