I'm a big fan of the TV show "Bones" and want to know more about forensic anthropology. What is it?

Forensic Anthropology is the scientific study of human remains, with an emphasis on understanding how humans lived in the past through analysis of bone, tooth, and other tissue samples. It involves examining bones for clues such as trauma, disease, age, sex, stature, and ancestry. By studying these clues, scientists can learn about the life history of individuals and populations, including their diet, activities, health status, and cause of death.
