History of forensics
Today, I was watching TV, the OJ Simpson trial was being talked about on Discovery Channel Times. They discussed DNA and stuff. I thought to myself what is the progression of Forensics here is what i found:
- First off, Forensics is not correct, you should say forensic science because forensics is " effectively a synonym for "legal" or "related to courts" (from Latin, it means "before the forum")"
- They're twelve divisions of forensic science
- above does not include applications of forensics
- " The "Eureka" legend of Archimedes (287-212 BC) can be considered an early account of the use of forensic science. In this case, by examining the principles of water displacement, Archimedes was able to prove that a crown was not made of gold (as it was fraudulently claimed) by its density and buoyancy." (wikipedia)
- Fingerprinting began in early human times
