A human is entitled to two different identities: one biological and one personal. The methods used in creating a biological profile and identification are under constant development. Methods used in creating a biological profile of an individual are: sex, age, ethnicity and stature. A large variation of bone elements can be used to determine these parameters, some with better results than others. Traces of skeletal trauma and disease should, in those cases they are present, be included in the biological profile. That is because they might be a vital clue in a possible identification. Methods like DNA has been a vital element in identifications on a personal level, because it is possible to determine family relations with its help. DNA has been used in a variety of identifications for example missing soldiers. Identification and creating a biological profile is an important work that will be even more precise in the future.
