Question

study of human skeletons can reveal information concerning the persons
a health
b all of the answers are correct
c age and nutritional status
d sex
e size and handedness

Explanation:

• Health: Skeletal abnormalities (e.g., fractures, bone diseases like osteoporosis) can indicate health issues.
• Age and nutritional status: Bone density, growth plates (in younger individuals), and signs of nutritional - related bone changes (e.g., rickets from vitamin D deficiency) can show age and nutritional status.
• Sex: There are sexual dimorphisms in the skeleton. For example, the pelvis (wider in females for childbirth in general) and skull features can help determine sex.
• Size and handedness: Bone size can give an indication of the overall body size. Handedness can sometimes be inferred from differences in bone density and muscle attachment sites (more developed on the dominant side).

Answer:

B. All of the answers are correct
