Question

question # 4
multiple choice
in recent years ______ has been used alongside dna analysis to identify corpses found in mass graves.
○ anthropology
○ fingerprinting
○ long - bone measurement
○ osteology

Explanation:

Anthropology is the study of humans, including their physical characteristics and cultural aspects. In forensic contexts, physical anthropology (a sub - field of anthropology) can analyze skeletal remains (which is related to osteology, but osteology is more about the study of bones in general, while anthropology in this forensic sense uses a broader set of human - related knowledge). Fingerprinting is more about the patterns on fingers and may not be as directly applicable in mass grave identification where remains might be decomposed. Long - bone measurement is a part of skeletal analysis but is too narrow. Anthropology, with its focus on human biological and cultural aspects (in a forensic context, understanding human remains in terms of population - level characteristics etc.), is used alongside DNA analysis.

Answer:

Anthropology
