Skeleton Keys: The Secret Life of Bone by Brian Switek

informative lighthearted reflective medium-paced

4.0

I really enjoyed this stroll across the history of bones and the way we as humans relate to them. The part about gendering human remains really resonated with me, as I to find it weird to talk about skeletons as men and women and making according assumptions about the lives that people let a very long time ago. I found the structure of the book a bit unclear which made me lose the thread of the narrative at times. Apart from that it was a good read.
