2.) The Role of Forensic Anthropology and the Forensic Entomology Both forensic anthropology and forensic entomology are highly specialized forensic disciplines. The expertise of forensic anthropologists and forensic entomologists may be sought in a death investigation. What information can these experts provide to the death investigator?

The role of forensic anthropology is to help in the identification of deceased people using scientific principles and knowledge (RAI). The victims can be of any natural or man-made disaster. Generally, those victims are identified whose death has resulted in a serious impact on their bodies which makes them unidentified by the naked eye. Forensic entomology is a specialized study of the corpse with the use of arthropods (2021). The type of arthropods and their colonization helps in identifying the exact age of the cadaver. The pattern of assembly of insects on the body identifies the extent of decomposition as they colonize at a suitable temperature and vapor density.
