How can forensic anthropology benefit from studies on bone morphological response to mechanical strains? (Determination of : biological profile? positive identification? time elapsed since death? trauma analysis? human vs. non human?)

Solution

Forensic anthropology is mainly dealt with application of biological & genomic aspects of human & nonhuman morphological analysis including bone, DNA, when analyzing a particular material (ex. bone) obtained at an excavation. The benefit from these studies are on bone age, stature (fused or unfused), and ancestry, morphological response to mechanical strains. Genomic DNA is also useful to study single nucleotide polymorphism in lab & to study forensic genetics of skeletal bone structures. The mechanical strains from a bone morphological response is mainly identified from forensic biology based on the elements or bones present after death & compared to those bones present in living person or non- human origin. The biological profile is determined with respect to anatomical position and ancestral origin of the bone using forensic anthropology. The visual inventory is going to be created to denote any missing elements, an indication of positive profile. The carbon dating method is useful to denote time elapsed since death as per half-life of beta and alpha ray decay using radioactive dating method. The trauma is analyzed based on the lost element of the bone with respect to morphological function finally compared to human and non-human diseases or injuries.
