FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION 1920: Michael Gerasimov found a method to reconstruct facial appearance from a skull. I believe this is important because if an individual gets in an accident or needs facial reconstruction, thanks to this discovery, it is possible to change that person's appearance.

SEROLOGY 1901: Paul Uhlenhuth discovered a way to distinguish between a human and an animal's blood. This was one of the first methods shown in court for forensic science, and it is really important in a crime scene to identify what happened or who was involved.

FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION  1892: Fingerprints are crucial when investigating a crime scene just by finding one you can identify an individual. This year Francis Galton published a book about fingerprints and how they are helpful when solving crime.

PATHOLOGICAL LITHOGRAPHS 1850: Johann Ludwig Casper published the first color forensic pathological lithographs. These lithographs included colored lithographs of gunshot wounds in cadavers which helped to identify and see how these wounds look.
