| Description | The fact that new innovations are being made in all fields of science every day is not news; rather, it is a trend that continues to pick up speed and complexity. Keeping up with the flow of information in any single field is difficult for most people. Forensic investigation is an eclectic field that borrows techniques and procedures from many fields, thereby increasing the information burden dramatically. As each new technique becomes available, it seems to provide answers to old questions and promises to make our work easier. Yet, each new technique needs to be evaluated and understood so that it may be applied properly. For example, a carpenter would never use a circular saw to cut metal pipe and a surgeon does not use a desk stapler to sew up a patient. Each tool and technique has its proper use as well as its improper ones. The ability to tell the difference is what separates the professional from the amateur. So it is in forensic investigation. There are more techniques and specialists available today than ever before, and that very abundance offers a challenge. Book Name: The Use of Forensic Anthropology |
