Anthropology

We did another unit in forensics. This one was on anthropology. When forensic scientists use this, its mainly for bones and skeletons and determining the age, sex, and race, by measuring the lengths and angles of the bones. One of the activities that we did involved the case of the missing Romonov family. The scientists dug up the supposed grave and compared DNA samples of the bones to surviving members of the family, and determined who they were, but they also determined which skeleton belonged to which person. They also found that two bodies were missing. Some of the specific bones used to determine the age, sex, and race, are mainly the skull, and the pelvis. Also, whether or not they have wisdom teeth, if their vertebrae have rings, and their pelvis is shaped a certain way, helps determine the important information.
