Forensic Anthropologist

Forensic Anthropologist

Forensic Anthropologist is the study of human bones.

The duties of a Forensic Anthropologist are: Study human remains, identify victims beyond recognition, find the time of death, establish the potential cause of death, identify wounds/injuries and dig the skeletal remains. Other responsibilities that Forensic Anthropologist includes: exanimating bone and skeleton, distinguish whether it's an animal or human, discover the age, gender and race, and identify any illegal or toxic substances.

I think the most satisfying part of this job is figuring out the identity of the person and having the satisfaction that you found someone's loved one and him/her are resting were their supposed to.

I think the most frustrating part of this job would be the digging out the bones because you don't know how old the bones are there also very fragile so you don't what to brake/damage and make sure that you're careful there might be some evidence that got left behind.

This would not be my area of interest because math is that my strongest and math is crucial in this job. Like all the activities we did in class had to do with formulas, division, addition ,multiplication and subtraction to find out the height, age, time of death and gender.
