Perhaps in ethnohistorical anthropology..
But I dont see where it fits in in physical anthropology, which should be as objective as possible, and not based on the inevitable prejudice that will come out of knowing the persons origins.. you will already have judged what the person "likely" is and can "possibly" be, and take into consideration a lot of other things than what it in its essence is about
: physical (anthropological) features.
