Human remains refer to the physical remains of a person after death, which can include bones, teeth, and soft tissues. These remains can provide valuable information about an individual's life, health, and the circumstances surrounding their death. Forensic scientists often study human remains to help solve crimes or identify missing persons. The examination of human remains is a key aspect of forensic anthropology, which combines the study of human biology and archaeology. This field helps law enforcement agencies understand the identity and cause of death, contributing to legal investigations and historical research.
