My English Presentation...Forensic Anthropology

Today I talked about forensic anthropology in the class of English. Forensic anthropology is a line of the anthropology which studies the evolution, culture and behavior of human development. In specific the forensic anthropology is the science which studies the human skeletal remains, they elaborate a profile of bone remains for the legal process with different methods to determinate the age, sex, height, the cause of death, etc.  Besides a forensic anthropologist apply their knowledge of biology, science and culture to determine and identify the skeletal remains.

For example to determine the age, a forensic anthropologist, used the bones of pelvis, in specific the pubic area or pubic symphysis, also used the skull, because this present a sutures which the time begins to eliminate.  Besides the bones with the time grown and deteriorate, and grade depend for the time.

Other characteristics to determine is the sex. In this case they use the pelvis and the skull, because present differences between the male and female, also the bones are different in the size and robustness.

Also an anthropologist, determines the ancestry, nutritional disorders, diseases, infections, and the cause of death, with the evidence physical in the bone remains. This work is interdisciplinary, because a forensic anthropologist working with, pathologist, homicide detective, and other specialist, incorporates different sciences.
