PDF-(BOOS)-Biological Affinity in Forensic Identification of Human Skeletal Remains: Beyond

Ancestry determination in the identification of unknown remains can be a challenge for forensic scientists and anthropologists especially when the remains available for testing are limited There are various techniques for the assessment of ancestry ranging from traditional to new microbiological and computerassisted methods Biological Affinity in Forensic Identification of Human Skeletal Remains Beyond Black and White presents a range of tools that can be used to identify the probable sociocultural race category of unknown human remainsGathering insight from those who have made recent improvements and scientific advances in the field the book begins with the historical foundations of the concept of biological affinity and the need for increased research into methods for determining ancestry of skeletal remains The contributors cover a range of topics includingAncestry estimation from the skull using morphoscopic and morphometric traits and variables Innovative methods from metric analyses of the postcrania and new approaches to dental nonmetric variation The biological diversity of Hispanic populations and use of discriminant function analysis and 3DID software to determine ancestry Methods of age progression and facial reconstructions to create twodimensional 2D and threedimensional 3D facial composites for missing people The preparation of skeletal remains for DNA extraction and sampling and mtDNA methods that are available for identification of haplogroups eg ancestral populationsNo single method or technique is adequate in the assessment of ancestry For accurate determinations the use of traditional and new techniques combined yields better results This book demonstrates the large repertoire of tools available to those tasked with these challenging determinations.

As ancient skeletal remains can reveal a treasure trove of information to the modern orthopedist, pathologist, forensic anthropologist, and radiologist, this book presents a timely resource. Beautifully illustrated with over 1,100 photographs and drawings, it provides an essential text and material on bone pathology, thus helping improve the diagnostic ability of those interested in human dry bone pathology. New Perspectives in Forensic Human Skeletal Identification provides a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on human identification methods in forensic anthropology. Divided into four distinct sections, the chapters will reflect recent advances in human skeletal identification, including statistical and morphometric methods for assessing the biological profile (sex, age, ancestry, stature), biochemical methods of identification (DNA analysis, stable isotope analysis, bomb curve analysis), and use of comparative radiography. The final section of this book highlights advances in human identification techniques that are being applied to international populations and disaster victims.The contributing authors represent established experts in forensic anthropology and closely related fields. New Perspectives in Forensic Human Skeletal Identification will be an essential resource for researchers, practitioners, and advanced students interested in state-of-the-art methods for human identification. Every year, there are over 1.6 million violent deaths worldwide, making violence one of the leading public health issues of our time. And with the 20th century just behind us, it\'s hard to forget that 191 million people lost their lives directly or indirectly through conflict. This collection of engaging case studies on violence and violent deaths reveals how violence is reconstructed from skeletal and contextual information. By sharing the complex methodologies for gleaning scientific data from human remains and the context they are found in, and complementary perspectives for examining violence from both past and contemporary societies, bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology prove to be fundamentally inseparable. This book provides a model for training forensic anthropologists and bioarchaeologists, not just in the fundamentals of excavation and skeletal analysis, but in all subfields of anthropology, to broaden their theoretical and practical approach to dealing with everyday violence.
