Forensic Anthropology:
My name is Kylie Greenlee. My career is Forensic Anthropology. Forensic Anthropology is the study of humankind and culture in all times and places. Forensic Anthropology involves thorough knowledge of skeletal anatomy and biology, which is technically called osteology, to help identify cause of death and skeletal remains.

How Forensic Anthropology Is Different Than The Show "Bones" :
Many peoples perception of Forensic Anthropologists are far fetched because of television. If you have ever watched the show "Bones", you may think ALL Forensic Anthropologists work in a lab identifying the cause of death or a different skeleton everyday. Once you do a little research you will see that this is not the case. Most people who have a degree in this area of study become college professors or work as a consultant for law firms or federal agencies.
