I Danmark praktiseres retsantropologi primært af retsantropologer eller -patologer med tilknytning til et af landets tre retsmedicinske afdelinger. Det retsantropologiske arbejde har overvejende fokus på specifik knoglemorfologi for at kunne fastslå bl.a. alder på dødstidspunktet, biologisk køn, kropsbygning samt befolkningsmæssige tilhørsforhold.
