The American Academy of Forensic Science (AAFS) was established in 1948. Expertise includes pathology and biology, toxicology, criminalistics, questioned documents, forensic odontology, and anthropology. German physician Paul Uhlenhuth created serums to distinguish different animal blood. Serology was established to study bloodstains and distinguish blood from animals.

Forensic Pathology studies the cause of death through examination of the corpse and identity of corpses. The pathologic process studies injury or disease that directly influenced or initiated a person’s death. “Manner of death” in most jurisdictions is seen to be: homicide, accidental, natural, suicide, or undetermined. Autopsies collect trace evidence and identity of the deceased. Pathologists examine and document wounds and injuries. They collect and examine tissue specimens for natural disease such as asbestos in the lungs or gunpowder particles around a gunshot wound. They also collect and interpret toxicological analyses of body tissues and fluids to determine chemical causes of accidental overdoses or deliberate poisonings.
