ABSTRACT

It is well known that the identification of the bone or a bone fragment means an extremely valuable contribution when the clarification of juridical issues is being performed. When the complete skeleton or whole bones are not available, the analysis of the osseous histomorphologic characteristics becomes a decisive factor for the elucidation of certain cases of identification. The present study has been conducted aiming at enlarging or searching for new possibilities for identifying osseous fragments of human beings and of some nineteen mammals with characteristics closest to those of the human beings. Thus, the systems and the canals of Havers as well as the osteocytes and the canaliculi of the osteocytes of the human beings, anta, aracambé, ox, goat, grison, dog, capivara, sheep, cateto, horse, rabbit, agouti, cat, capuchin-monkey, puma, hedgehog, pig, tamanduá-bandeira (the great anteater), and the veado-cervo (any deer) have been analyzed. The osseous tissue of the mammals have been histologically cut by abrasion – in the longitudinal and transversal way – and analyzed under light microscopy. The results have clearly and accurately shown that the histomorphologic analysis of the above mentioned structures makes it possible either to identify and differentiate the genders studied or to exclude the possibility that the osseous fragment may belong to the gender Homo sapiens.
