Description
This comprehensive resource addresses the critical challenge of determining biological affinity in forensic identification of human skeletal remains. Moving beyond outdated racial categories, the authors present evidence-based approaches that reflect contemporary understanding of human variation and skeletal morphology.
The book combines theoretical foundations with practical applications, offering forensic anthropologists, archaeologists, and medical examiners essential tools for accurate biological profile construction. Chapters cover morphological analysis techniques, metric and non-metric traits, population variation, and the limitations of traditional classification systems.
With contributions from leading experts in the field, this 2015 edition includes case studies, methodological frameworks, and updated research reflecting current best practices. The work acknowledges the complexity of human biological diversity while providing standardized assessment protocols for professional practice.
