The evolution of skeletons enabled an unprecedented array of bodies to evolve, from the tiniest seed shrimp to dinosaurs and blue whales. This book explores the incredible variety of skeletons in nature, and the impacts of climate change, and of medical and technological advances, for the future of skeletons.
