Bone Histology – A Biological Anthropological Perspective (2025) Sam D. Stout

Description

This book, the Second Edition, updates the field of bone histology by incorporating significant advances in bone biology, histological techniques, and methods. It covers the fundamental aspects of bone biology, including remodeling and modeling, which are crucial for interpreting bone histomorphology. The text applies histological methods to practical applications such as the estimation of age, evaluation of pathological conditions affecting the skeleton, and determination of human versus nonhuman remains. It concludes with discussions on current research trends, technological advances in imaging, and the importance of well-documented skeletal collections for future research in biological and forensic anthropology.
