Imаgine yоu аre pаrt оf a fоrensic investigation team that discovers a decomposed skeleton deep in the woods. Your job is to help identify whether the remains belong to a male or female. Using what you’ve learned about skull and pelvic differences, explain which features you would examine and how they could help you determine the sex of the skeleton. Be sure to discuss at least six characteristics of the skull and pelvis to help determine the sex. Then answer the following Reflection Questions: Which bone (the skull or pelvis) would likely give you the most accurate information about sex, and why? How might age or trauma affect your ability to identify these features? If the skull were damaged or incomplete, which pelvic features would you rely on most to make your determination? Why is it important for forensic scientists to use multiple skeletal features instead of relying on just one?
