That's an awesome collection. I've got several monkey skulls but not a full grown human yet.
I'm a bone collector myself.
Amateur Paleontologist actually. But I love some bones.

Tell you guys a story from the old days. One Sat I was down at my now gone electrical engineering buddy watchin a Sat aft movie, and a "Cal" ad comes on TV and they've got this "bait leader" 69--69RR "on sale" for I don't know what, 800 bucks or something. This was 70 and at that time I had a 69RR. Gary had bought a brand new 70 Chev k20 pickup, and wanted a second cheaper car. So he and I got ourselves all wound up and we drove from National City (Paradise Hills) to LA to Cals outfit. OF COURSE they had no such 69RR that they or we could find, but finally pointed us around "back" and here was "some kind" of 68-9 Plymouth sittin there in a puddle of oil. But they INSISTED we try out a brand new Duster. But they LEAVE THE KEYS in all of them, and the kids play in them leave the keys on, and RUN THE BATTERIES dead. So they get the 'wetback' over there with the grocery cart full of jumper batteries, and "off we go." I got to drive. To this day I bet that salesman was sorry he turned me loose in a 340 4 speed A body!!!! He was not very glib when we got back to the lot

Federally illegal to posses human remains without a super special permit (or being a native American, IIRC).
I had to inventory computer systems at a high school as part of the Y2K verification project I was involved in.
As a joke, I inserted the inventory number of a science department human skeleton into my spreadsheet, just to see if anyone was paying attention to the data.
No mention, ever.

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.
