Forensic Anthropologists are "bone detectives" who help police solve complex cases involving unidentified human remains. The techniques which physical anthropologists use to discover information about early humans from their skeletons are also used to discover the identity of the victims of accidents, fires, plane crashes, war, or crimes such as murder. Forensic anthropologists utilize the remains of people to determine many things. Forensic Anthropology had it’s beginning nearly a century and a half ago when a doctor made use of the study of remains to solve a mystery. One hundred forty years ago, Dr. Jefferies Wyman, a Harvard University anatomy professor, led one of the very first forensic anthropology investigations. A doctor named Parkman paid a visit to a Mr. Webster to collect money owed to him. That was the last time anyone ever saw Mr. Parker alive. Bones and a set of false teeth were found at the medical school where Webster used to teach, and Wyman studied the remains. Wyman later came to the conclusion that the bones found at the scene was very likely to have come from someone of Parkman’s profile. Parkman’s dentist also identified the false teeth as Parkman’s dentures. Dr. Webster was found guilty of murdering Parkman because of the overwhelming evidence due to forensic anthropology. In this way, Forensic Anthropology was founded.
