Craniometria na identificação do sexo em esqueletos humanos: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The useof craniometry is very important in the area of forensic anthropology. Through mathematical techniques of measurements of the human skull, we can evaluate several factors that helpusto study complex cases and solve problems in the field of forensic medicine. Some of these techniques are used to identify individuals in relation to age, kinship and also in the identification of gender. Sexual determination is amongstthe first procedures during thehuman identification. By defining it, identification takes a correct direction. In this way, this work aims to perform a bibliographic review on the subject, presenting some of the craniometric measurements that have greater assertiveness in the identification of sexin human skeletons.
