How to "Read" a Human Skull: Pathology

The pathology of a human skull can provide important clues to the cause of death. Changes in the skull can be caused by trauma, disease, or infection. These pathological conditions help determine whether the person died as a result of an accident, gunshot wound, disease, or other violent act.

In forensic investigations, skull analysis can provide information about whether the death was unnatural or violent. For example, blunt force fractures or gunshot wounds caused by projectile injuries can be identified. Chronic diseases such as tumors, infections or degenerative diseases also leave traces in the skull that can help determine the cause of death or the state of health before death. In addition, skull examination can also provide information about the deceased person's lifestyle or living conditions, such as signs of malnutrition or stress-related changes.

SWISSskulls sells real human bones because we firmly believe that authentic skeleton specimens are irreplaceable for scientific and academic purposes. Real human skeletons offer unparalleled precision and detail not found in the cheaper plastic models that flood the market. While plastic skeletons are often inaccurate and simplistic, real bones reveal the unique features and variations of a human body that are critical to accurate research and understanding of human anatomy.

At SWISSskulls, we place the greatest value on authenticity, quality and the respectful handling of human remains. Our bones are carefully prepared and meet the highest ethical standards in order to make a valuable contribution to both teaching and research. We therefore offer a product that goes far beyond the capabilities of plastic models and offers real added value for academic and scientific institutions.
