Abstract

In about a quarter of the forensic anthropological cases one of the goals is to determine the human or non- human origin of the bony specimens. A particular difficulty is represented by the bear paws which show a close resemblance to the human hand or feet. This article is designed as a brief illustrated guide highlighting the most noticeable radiological and osteological differences of the bear hind paw in contrast to human foot.
