"A provocative and entertaining magical mineral tour through the life and afterlife of bone." --Wall Street JournalOur bones have many stories to tell, if you know how to listen. Bone is a marvel, an adaptable and resilient building material developed over more than four hundred million years of evolutionary history. It gives your body its shape and the ability to move. It grows and changes with you, an undeniable document of who you are and how you lived. Arguably, no other part of the human anatomy has such rich scientific and cultural significance, both brimming with life and a potent symbol of death. In this delightful natural and cultural history of bone, Brian Switek explains where our skeletons came from, what they do inside us, and what others can learn about us when these artifacts of mineral and protein are all we've left behind. Bone is as embedded in our culture as it is in our bodies. Our species has made instruments and jewelry from bone, treated the dead like collectors' items, put our faith in skull bumps as guides to human behavior, and arranged skeletons into macabre tributes to the afterlife. Switek makes a compelling case for getting better acquainted with our skeletons, in all their surprising roles. Bridging the worlds of paleontology, anthropology, medicine, and forensics, Skeleton Keys illuminates the complex life of bones inside our bodies and out.

Yummy Snack - Paleo & AIP Friendly
Flavor Name: Wagyu Beef Steak, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
My husband and I always make sure to have these on hand. I have them on subscription so we never run out. They taste really good, they are on the tougher side, so not super moist to bite into, but the seasonings are great and doesn't contain citric acid or other fillers. Friendly for AIP diets if you can tolerate black pepper. Contains honey also. Really great recipe and they're great to keep in your bag or lunchbox. My husband brings them to work for an easy snack also. Even my kids ask if they can have them from time to time because they love them, but these are mommy and daddy's treats!! Lol!

Soft & Moist
Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2), Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Tried this from a Sam’s Club combo pack of the jerky and like but size nugget deals. LOVED the jerky enough to figure out if I can order just big regular size bags of the jerky. And you can. And I did. The quality of the big bag of jerky is as good, wonderful, soft, moist, as the little small snack size bags I tried to Sam’s Club. If you like soft jerky that is not super chewy, and that does not get stuck in your teeth unless you are really trying, I would definitely recommend this

The G.O.A.T.
Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I first found Golden Island Korean BBQ Jerry at Costco years ago, and I've been eating it off and on since then. (Except for lately, when I've been taking a small bag of it to work almost every day.) First of all, I don't like jerky as a rule, it's too tough and hard to eat. This, though, is tender and yummy (technical term). The garlic is just enough, too strong for before coffee, but perfect the rest of the day. I love the sweetness that plays off of the soy sauce. Looks like I find this my current favorite snack.
