Forensic anthropology is the application of biological anthropology to modern forensic cases.  A forensic anthropologist is interested in the s*x, age, ancestry and stature of an individual along with unique features or pathology that may indicate identification.  Basically, we look at skeletal remains and try to figure out anything we can in order to identify the individual.
