Skeleton Keys: The Secret Life of Bone

Bone is a resilient, adaptable material, one of the incredible inventions of evolution. This cultural and natural history of human skeletons expains why we have them and how, what function they serve, what we can learn from the bones of historical humans, and how bones are used in art, religion, and more. Like all the best science writing, crosses many fields from paleontology to forensics.
