This course is part of the UBC Future Global Leaders on-campus program for high school students ages 15–18.
Forensic anthropology is the process by which individuals, recently deceased and long-dead, are identified. Learn how to identify the sex and age of a skeleton, and how to calculate height and body weight from skeletal elements. Understand how to recognize skeletal and dental markers that can lead to the identity of the individual, and how to interpret skeletal wounds that suggest how the individual died.
If you’re interested in medicine, the human body, biology, archaeology, history, law or law enforcement, this course will appeal to you.
