Full Description
This exam investigates the biological determinants of human variation and their relevance to forensic anthropology. Key theoretical frameworks include genetics, environmental influences, and skeletal morphology.
Understanding human biological variation is crucial in forensic contexts, as it aids in the identification of individuals based on skeletal remains and influences estimations of biological characteristics.
Students will demonstrate their ability to articulate the implications of biological variation in the identification process and the interpretation of skeletal remains.
The exam will encourage the application of theory to practice through the discussion of real-life cases illustrating these biological aspects.
Sample Questions
- How does genetic variation influence the identification of skeletal remains?
- What role do environmental factors play in human biological variation in forensic contexts?
