No, women skeletons are not the same as men's. The pelves are different

At first, yes. But then the stature of the person (tall/short) and age (young/old) of the deceased would change the way a skeleton looks. Also, upon closer observation, the gender of the skeletal remains can be determined. So, basically, skeletons do look alike at first. But they all differ in looks when compared side by side.

No, there are clear variations between specific skeletons, especially in that the pelvis and coccyx are oriented differently in mature men and mature women.
Also, skulls vary quite a bit in shape, though volume is generally the same among people of the same height. Also, due to environmental factors there are asymmetries and blemishes just as on the epidermal surface.

Depends on what you mean by alike. Similar? Yes. Identical? No. You can tell height, gender, and race from bone structure, so they can't all be the same.

Actually, no...it depends on the teeth structure (there are people who have teeth missing and others don't have that problem) and the bones if they are broken or missing (like an amputee). Also, the female skeletons have wider hip bones than the male skeletons.

Well, we look similar, however you can tell a female from a male, age (at the time of death), and other things. So if you look closely...no we don't look exactly alike as skeletons.

Skeletons contain much information about your life...
broken bones...
old injuries...
old wounds (if they damaged the bone)...
livestyle (are you always hunched over your mad scientist table or are you an athlete?)...
male/female...
and even age...
and a lot more stuff that I have no clue about...
all affect the way your skeleton looks in the end.

actually they dont. everyones teeth are different shape , length and amount. height is different. posture, some people have bad curved spinal cords.
colour prob varies very slightly.
width of bones are different. some people have large frames, some small.
if one is missing a limb they will look different. the cranian or head looks bigger or smaller and has different shapes in every human.

Nope. We're still uniquely individual. There's a touring exhibition called "Bodies," (it goes to museums) where you can see various bodies without their skin, to learn about anatomy and stuff (sounds awful! looks fascinating). Anyway, you can tell a lot, even about a person's lifestyle, by looking at their skeleton.
