While anthropology documents human behavior and cultural patterns around the world, it is also concerned with assisting people who navigate today’s complex and changing world.

Forensic anthropology combines archaeology and the sciences of physical or biological anthropology to the medico-legal process. This primarily includes the processes of recovery and identification of unknown human remains.
