the foundation for morphological and metrical studies of the skeleton from which many of the standards for the estimations of sex, age, ancestry, disease, and trauma have derived. e breadth of the comparative collections has provided for thousands of research studies by professionals, as well as students in the elds of human variation, skeletal biology, anthropomorphics, anthropometrics, osteology, paleopathology, dentistry, and orthopedic medicine. And with the National Museum of Natural History’s close proximity to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice, the sta of the Division of Physical Anthropology have been integral in the formulation, development, and recognition that physical anthropologists can provide valuable contributions to forensic investigation of human remains.
