Bones from 16th-century shipwreck suggest left-handedness changes what happens to us when we die

Researchers at Lancaster University examined the skeletal remains of the Mary Rose , where the ship's artifacts and the crew's skeletons were notably well preserved.

Researchers analyzed collarbones from the wreck using a non-destructive laser technique called Raman spectroscopy.

The study found that mineral content in the clavicle bones increased with age while protein content decreased.

These age-related changes were more pronounced in right clavicles than in left.

The Mary Rose was part of the Tudor navy and was Henry VIII's flagship.

Being right-handed may have put more stress on the right collarbone of the Mary Rose crew members as they carried out repeated ship-related activities.

This stress could have led to differences in mineral and protein content between the right and left clavicles.

Understanding how bone chemistry responds to physical stress and aging can inform approaches to treating and preventing bone-related conditions.
