Forensic facial reconstruction

Forensic facial reconstruction is a technique used to recreate a person's face based on their skeletal remains. Forensic artists analyze the bones, especially the skull, to estimate muscle placement, tissue depth, and other features, ultimately producing a visual approximation of the person's appearance. This process helps identify unknown victims by providing a face that can be compared to photographs or descriptions. It combines anthropology, anatomy, and art, serving as a valuable tool in criminal investigations and forensic science to bring closure to cases where only skeletal remains are available.
