The human skeleton is a time capsule. After reading through Human Osteology.pdf , here’s one insight that stuck with me: You can estimate a person’s age at death with surprising accuracy just by looking at the pubic symphysis (where the two pelvic bones meet at the front). In young adults, it has a ridged, billowing surface; in older adults, it becomes smooth and rimmed. That’s the power of osteology – turning dry bone into a life story.
