Have you ever wondered how scientists can build an image of a person from just their bones? In this exclusive talk you will be introduced to the fascinating world of forensic anthropology through the eyes of Dr Chris Aris, a Forensic Anthropology consultant with the University of Sheffield. The talk will cover what can be done to identify human remains in the field, how these can be assessed in order to identify individuals, and where in the process of a forensic investigation that a Forensic Anthropologist operates. This engaging talk with a real-life specialist will also include how skeletons can be given an age at death, how the stature of the individual while living can be estimated, and how sex can be estimated. Enjoy an hour of captivating science and learn a few skills along the way!
