Abstract

Cadavers speak their own language. Moving back in history human identification was one of the most challenging subjects that man had confronted. The concept of identity, with few significant variations, is the same as the assertion of Alves[1] that identity is a set of physical characteristics, functional or psychic, normal or pathological, that define an individual. The determination of race, sex, age, and stature of the bone gives valuable information in establishing the identity of a person. Another skill that is receiving increasing attention is the virtual anthropology.

Key words: Anthropology; Identity; Forensic; Imaging.
