human remains analysis

Human remains analysis involves examining bones, teeth, and sometimes soft tissues to gather information about a person's identity, cause of death, health, and age at death. Forensic anthropologists identify individuals by comparing skeletal features to medical records or DNA. They also determine aspects like nutritional status, scars, or injuries that offer clues about lifestyle or trauma. This analysis helps solve criminal cases, identify unknown victims, and provide closure for families. It combines scientific techniques with a detailed understanding of human biology to uncover important historical or forensic information.
