One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Forensic anthropology definition

Forensic anthropology is the application of biological anthropology to legal contexts, focusing on the identification of human remains and the determination of cause and manner of death. Mastering its definition is essential for the exam because it underpins the scope of the discipline, differentiates it from related fields, and frames the types of evidence a forensic anthropologist may produce.
