Abstract
Identification of humans is an extremely important topic in today’s society, particularly in the context of medical and legal matters. To correctly identify a person for legal purposes, it is necessary to describe, compare, and accurately attribute essential biological characteristics. As a direct result of this, each new technological advancement developed in this sector can add to the growing demand for precise and reliable instruments to establish and verify human identification. Even though it has been around for a very long time, forensic anthropology has reached significant advancement universally in the past thirty years. It is necessary to keep track of all of these advancements and evaluate the patterns at regular intervals. In addition, it is essential to determine the study topics that will be essential in the coming years. This special issue’s objective is to take a closer look at some of the studies conducted within the 21st century in the hopes of spotting emerging patterns. The paper analyses a number of studies focused on the study of face characteristics and identification methods, such as facial profile estimation and skull-photo superimposition. Estimation of age (based on skull thickness and the fetus), sex (based on the supranasal area, arm, and leg bones), and height (based on the arm bones) have all been studied through the analysis of separate articles in this paper. Further, with the onset of increasing criminal activities, identifying criminals through forensics has also become of great importance. This paper studies and analyses various identification methods by the application of anthropology and morphology on forensics with the help of Artificial Intelligence mechanisms.
