This research examines human skeletal remains in the context of what it can tell us about human evolution and development, past populations and human adaptation. It also focusses on several applications including forensic anthropology and applied skeletal biology. The primary aim of forensic anthropology is the identification of unknown/skeletonized human remains, and research centres on developing new methods and improving existing ones for this purpose. Human variation and sexual dimorphism, as expressed in skeletal characteristics, are assessed.
