what can bones tell us about a person's life
In today's world, homicide-related crime is on the rise. Forensic anthropology
can be introduced as a field that plays a vital role in identifying and
prosecuting the perpetrators of such crimes. This subject also does a great
job of identifying the perpetrators of such crimes and providing the
necessary evidence to prosecute them. Here the evidence leading to a
particular murder is gathered under a number of different fields. One of the
most important of these is the study of human bones and the collection of
evidence. And also, this is one of the main tasks of a forensic anthropologist,
and many important facts about a person's identity can be gleaned from the
study of his bone parts.

This essay will argue that human bones can tell three main things about the
person: sexuality, ethnicity and age.

Firstly, sexuality can be determined through the study of human bones.
When unidentified human remains are found, forensic anthropologists are
mainly focused on determining the Sex by studying those human remains.
Sex can be determined by studying the bone in two main ways. For Instance,
estimating sex from the skull and estimating sex from the pelvis. Forensic
anthropologists focus on several important characteristics in determining sex
from human skull. Overall, male skull is bigger than female skull. Where by
easily estimating sex. And also, other features are male's sloping forehead,
larger muscles attachment sites and squarer eye sockets. But the opposite
features can be seen in the study of female skull. There are margins of the
orbits are shaper, the skull shape is more rounded and the socket is lager
relative to the overall size of face than in males. Furthermore, male frontal
and parental eminences is smaller than female frontal and prenatal
eminences. Male zygomatic bone is heavier than female Zygomatic bone.
Male’s mandible is larger than female mandible. Apart from that when a
man’s chin shape square female chin shape is pointed. When sexually
determined by human bones, most successful way is estimating sex from the
pelvis. The pelvic is the most sexually dimorphic region of skeleton. Female
pelvic is too wide but male pelvic is very narrow. This is the main difference
between the female and male pelvic. It helps to determine sex. Furthermore,
female pelvic superior view is scrum tilted back. But the male pelvic superior
view is scrum tilted forward. That’s most important thing.
