8 to 10 years. A BS/BA is 4 years, MA/MS 2 years and the PhD is 3-7 years. Most PhD programs give candidates 7 years to complete the degree. The first 2 years is course work for the area of expertise and a dissertation is required to finish the degree. It took me nearly 2 years of writing to complete the dissertation.
No one answer. Some do not go to college. I know of one with a PhD- he has about10 years.

Doctors have to do very well in school, go to college, and then another 4 years of doctor college to get your PHD.
It usually takes 9 to 10 years of college total to get a PHD in psychology. Usually a BS takes 4 years, and masters takes 5 to 6 additional years.
A person is able to transfer to another college to obtain a phd if they have attended TIFR. Many colleges will accept the courses taken here as transfer credits for their phd program.
If you are asking about formal training, at least a PhD. So that means 4 years of college, and then 2 or more for a masters and 3-5 more for a PhD. Some people complete college in 3 years, and a few go directly to PhD programs. So it may be less.
I estimate 10 years of post secondary education to obtain a Phd that would be required to become a Forensic Anthropologist.
