Summary Introduction
To determine:
The usefulness of pelvis in identifying the sex, the relative age, and some physical characteristics of the person.
Concept introduction:
The pelvis of females differs greatly in structure from the pelvis of the males. This difference in structure is due to the adaptation of female pelvic girdle to facilitate the childbirth and childbearing. Other differences in structure are due to the difference in body mass and size of males and females.

What role does the forensic antroplogist play in a medicolegal death investigation?arrow_forwardCLUE #2: Now that you have narrowed down your victims, let’s see if we can shorten the list even more. Bones have been saved from these victims over the years. Let’s study them to see what we can find. Victim #1: The skull shows a prominent external occipital protuberance and has a sloping frontal bone. Victim #2: The pelvis shows a greater sciatic arch and a wide sub-pubic angle. The sacrum is short and wide. In addition, the femur bone shows that one epiphyseal plate has completely fused while the other is still slightly open. Victim #3: The skull has a squarish mental protuberance and a less obtuse mandibular angle. The femur and the tibia seem to be bowing. Using this information, you should be able to determine the gender of each victim and possibly other important information. Write your responses in the text box provided.
