Because other animals can get really wonky that's as much as I'd be confident in saying.

But scapula, as others have said, seems right. What is the scale of this?

Edit: if it IS human I've never seen one from this angle, and I've repeatedly held them in my hands... So I might be wrong, and just consider me surprised if so.

It's definitely human but so much of the bone is covered up from the angle, that it looks so foreign jorgevlorgan Oct 2020 #15
