Anyone can buy human skulls on the open market. Not native American skulls though. They are protected. Medical supply houses are the typical purchase location but you can find them on Amazon. Plenty of replica's but there are lots of real skulls.
A bone collector would want one for comparison with other hominid skulls or comparison with monkey skulls.
Some monkey skulls are damn near identical to a human skull and it's very difficult to tell the difference.
I've done a few presentations for groups of folks that were Paleontology based but we ventured into some archeology comparison's of which we used skulls of both monkeys and humans.
There are reason's that are not dark.
