• The eSkeletons project:Human, baboon, gorilla and comparative anatomies. The Virtual Skeletons Project is funded by the National Science Foundation. The purpose of this site is to enable you to view the bones of a human, gorilla, and baboon and to gather information about them from our osteology database. This site provides an interactive environment in which to examine and learn about skeletal anatomy. This includes: high-quality images of bones, labels of all muscles, articulations, and morphological features & high-resolution 3-D renderings of the skeletal elements in both animation (Quicktime) and interactive virtual reality (VRML) format
