Questions About Hair
All hair on one head the same? Different on different body areas? Tell race of person from hair? Sex of person from hair? Age of person from hair?

Comparing Hair Samples?
Comparing hair from a scene to hair from a known source?
Is it Similar? What makes it Similar?
All the characteristics found on the known hair and the questioned hair must be identical.
What does it mean to say they are consistent with one another?

Class vs. Individual
Hair has basically class characteristics
Matching distribution of pigment, medulla type and cuticle type can be found in many individuals.
