Forensic anthropology is an applied branch of physical or biological anthropology that integrates knowledge and methods from several scientific disciplines to assist in the identification of human remains and the investigation of legal cases. Its interdisciplinary nature enables forensic anthropologists to examine skeletal remains, reconstruct biological profiles, estimate trauma, and contribute expert opinions in criminal investigations, mass disasters, and humanitarian missions. The effectiveness of forensic anthropology depends on its close relationship with numerous allied disciplines. The relationship between forensic anthropology and anatomy is fundamental. Human anatomy provides detailed knowledge of the structure, morphology, and variation of bones and joints. Anatomical understanding allows forensic anthropologists to distinguish human from non-human remains, identify skeletal elements, recognize congenital anomalies, and interpret pathological or traumatic changes accurately. Forensic anthropology is closely associated with forensic medicine and pathology. While forensic pathologists primarily determine the cause and manner of death through examination of soft tissues and internal organs, forensic anthropologists specialize in decomposed, burnt, fragmented, or skeletonized remains. Together, they reconstruct circumstances surrounding death, identify injuries, and differentiate ante-mortem, peri-mortem, and post-mortem changes. The discipline has a strong relationship with archaeology, particularly forensic archaeology. Archaeological excavation techniques help recover skeletal remains systematically without disturbing evidence. Knowledge of stratigraphy, mapping, documentation, and context preservation ensures accurate reconstruction of crime scenes, clandestine burials, and mass graves while maintaining the chain of custody. Forensic anthropology also relies heavily
