This volume details Virtual Anthropology, a new branch of science that combines elements from such different fields as anthropology, radiology, forensics, mathematics, and computer science. It offers an ideal introduction into the discipline. Coverage details medical imaging and digitizing techniques as well as the analysis and reconstruction of morphology based on spatial geometry of biological objects. Many examples of real applications and future perspectives are featured throughout the volume. In addition, an accompanying DVD contains instructive exercises, answers, links to free software, and 2D and 3D data, allowing readers to take their first steps into the subject. The volume carefully walks readers, step-by-step into the methods of operation to particularly understand their relevance for research and society. It is ideal for all kinds of students from biological to medical and technical fields as well as by teachers, journalists, and interested laymen.
