Study calls for a new approach to replace ancestry in forensics

Study calls for a new approach to replace ancestry in forensics A new study finds forensics researchers use terms related to ancestry and race in inconsistent ways, and calls for the discipline to adopt a new approach to better account for both the fluidity of populations and how historical events have shaped our skeletal characteristics. Forensic anthropology is a science, and we need to use terms consistently. Our study both highlights our discipline s challenges in discussing issues of ancestral origin consistently, and suggests that focusing on population affinity would be a way forward. Ann Ross, corresponding author of the study and professor of biological sciences, North Carolina State University
