Here you are starting a journey through time that at best lasts 100 years: the life of a modern human from conception to death.

How does our body develop, how does it work and how do we change in the course of life? What remains? What does our skeleton reveal about our evolutionary relationship to vertebrates?

As different as we humans are from each other, as much we have in common: What makes us what we are? Who ware we?
