Putting a face to the past




faces have been reconstructed using cutting-edge computer technology. this is use by forensic anthropologist to recreate faces from human remains for archaeological and police investigations - bringing the past to life. The computer system helps speed up the process of re-creation.Facial reconstruction is always a painstaking process.A key advantage of the computer system is that it can turn layers on and off, switching from skin to the muscles or bone. it can refer back constantly, which is something can't do with the traditional methods because as soon as put clay onto a skull you are covering it up. this is useful for forensic field because can get the result faster and accurately.the result also can send to other in a minute.i enjoy reading it because i like reading information related to forensic.
