Chitin vs. Bone
+0

I am interested in the concept of a chitin endoskeleton (rather than exoskeleton).
In the role of a humanoid internal structural skeletal system, how would chitin compare to bone? Would it be as strong? More flexible, or less so? Would it resist breakage better, or be more susceptible to fracture? Perhaps heavier, or lighter?
