Introduction
GPM's instruments are first developed based on the standardization ofmeasurement defined by Rudolf Martin, one of the leading Swiss anthropologists
specializing in physical anthropology. Through the years, GPM has consistently
reinvented its instrument collection by infusing new technology to ensure its
instruments are always up-to-date to meet the high demand and challenge faced by today's
anthropological industry.
The product portfolio includes a set of 42 high precision anthropometricinstruments, which are applied in the field of osteology - the scientific study of bones, andsomatology -the study of the human body, as a branch of anthropology.
Osteological approaches are frequently applied to investigation in disciplines such asvertebrate paleontology, zoology, forensicscience, physical anthropology and archaeology.
