Goals By using the disease traces on the skeletal remains of people who lost their lives as a result of various events, it is aimed to teach the diseases reflected in the bones in order to help identify missing people.
Course Content In this lesson: The structure and differences of human and animal bones will be explained. Information will be given on how to separate infant, child and adult bones. Information will be given on how to detect traces of disease in human bones and teeth. The importance of forensic bone pathologies in Forensic Anthropology will be explained.
Learning Outcomes 1) They learns to separate human and animal bones
2) They be to distinguish normal and diseased bones
3) They learns which diseases lead to bone pathologies.
