Forensic anthropology builds upon the skills developed within physical anthropology which focus on human osteology. The aim is to allow the bones to "speak," to allow the deceased to tell a story about who they were, how they lived and how they died. Our ability to "listen" depends largely upon our willingness to understand the principles by which the body is formed, how and why humans may vary phenotypically, and how the body responds to the environment in which it lives and dies.
