"Mrs Ples" lived on the South African highveld. "Mrs Ples" is the most complete cranium of the species Australopithecus africanus. Formerly the skull was known as "Plesianthropus" which means "almost human". "Mrs Ples" could walk upright, like humans, but she had a small brain, similar in size to that of a modern chimpanzee.

The Australopithecus africanus Skull (Taung Child) was discovered by M. de Bruyn in Taung, South Africa in 1924. Anatomy professor Raymond Dart identified this juvenile skull as a new genus and species of hominid in 1925 in Nature (Australopithecus africanus, which means "southern ape of Africa"). Dart considered his new man-like ape to be intermediate between humans and apes. The skull, though immature, features several hominid-like characteristics including: a rounded, high forehead lacking browridges, rounded dental arcade, no space between canine and first lower premolar, and a foramen magnum (the hole under the skull from which the spinal cord emerges) positioned forwardly under the skull, indicating bipedal locomotion. On the other hand, the child's cranial capacity is estimated at 405 cc, with a projected adult size of 440 cc., well within the ape range. It was not until other, adult, specimens were discovered in southern Africa during the next twenty years that Australopithecus africanus began to gain acceptance in the established scientific community.

Female. The Australopithecus boisei Skull KNM ER 732 was discovered in 1970 at Koobi Fora, Kenya by R. Leakey and H. Mutua and described in Nature in 1971. A comparative analysis of KNM ER 732 and KNM ER 406 revealed a host of similarities with the only differences (e.g., smaller size, lack of sagittal and nuchal crests in KNM ER 732) being typical of the sexual dimorphism found in great ape skulls. Consequently, KNM ER 732 is considered to be a female and KNM ER 406 a male of the species, Australopithecus boisei. Using the sexual dimorphism found in this pair as a guide, researchers suggested that A. robustus and A. africanus, which had been hypothesized by some to be male and female specimens of the same species, were, in fact, far more different than one would expect from simple sexual dimorphism. They proposed instead that A. robustus and A. africanus were separate species.

The Homo floresiensis Skull (Flores Skull LB1) was discovered by P. Brown and his team on the island of Flores, Indonesia, in 2003 and reported in Nature in 2004. A skeleton of this species, which has been designated as female because of characteristics of the pelvis, shows that in maturity she was only about 3.3 feet tall. That such a specimen (which had an unusually small brain capacity -- 380 cc -- for its body size) was in existence only 18,000 YA could be one of the most important discoveries in decades. Stone tools were also found at this site. H. floresiensis is the subject of much debate centering around whether it is a new human species or a microcephalic human. P. Brown et al. originally proposed that the Flores hominid was the result of a long term process of isolation on an island known as "insular dwarfism."

OH8 hominid foot cast.

This is a foot cast of Homo habilis specimen OH8.

$150 (plus shipping)

The Homo habilis Skull OH 24 (KNM) was discovered by P. Nzube in 1968 and first described by M. Leakey, Clark, & L. Leakey in Nature in 1971. This nearly complete but very badly crushed specimen constituted the oldest hominid found in Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, and supported the designation of the then controversial species of Homo habilis. Originally, some scientists had resisted classification of Homo habilis as a new species, preferring instead to separate specimens into either A. africanus or H. erectus. Though OH 24 features characteristics of both species, there are marked differences. Its estimated cranial capacity of 600 cc is the minimum for classification as Homo, but the difficulties of reconstruction may have contributed to the smallish estimation. The species possessed a larger brain than A. africanus or A. boisei, though smaller than Homo erectus from Java and China. The cranial bones are thinner than typical for australopithecines, and the braincase is wider and shorter. The width of the face approaches A. boisei in breadth, but is not similarly flat. The facial profile of H. habilis slopes forward but projects less than in A. africanus. Some scientists believe that the range of variation of specimens once attributed to Homo habilis is too great to represent a single species; consequently, more than one species of early Homo may have lived at the same time in East Africa.

Dated over 2,000 years old, this skull is an extreme example of binding and elongation. Cranial binding is the shaping of the skull when a child is very young, usually an infant. This wrapping is often done with rope or cloth by itself or against a wooden board. This results in the misshaping, flattening (see our cradle-board skull, BC-222) or, in this case, elongation. This wrapping or binding, is thought to be the oldest form of body modification, dating back 9,000 years. This particular skull is from Peru, but this practice has occurred in other regions as well.

The Homo erectus Skull Peking Man is also known as Pithecanthropus pekinensis (Sinanthropus). The reproduction offered here was recreated by Ian Tattersall and Gary J. Sawyer using original casts when possible. Their reproduction clearly indicates the areas that were sculpted and which were based on original fragments. The dark colors represent the areas that were created using casts from original material (from multiple specimens).

The following text was provided by Sawyer:

This 1995 reconstruction of Zhoukoudian (Choukoutien) Homo erectus was selected from the comprehensive first generation casts housed at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). These excellent, highly detailed casts were prepared by Dr. Franz Weidenreich and his colleagues just prior to the tragic loss of the original fossils during WWII. These casts, the reference set of which were officially presented to the AMNH in 1941, are all that remains of the original Zhoukoudian fossil humans.

Since Weidenreich had previously constructed a female skull from fragmented parts, the interest of Tattersall and Sawyer was to create a male skull, for which more elements were actually available. To do so, all skull elements were based on presumed male specimens as previously determined by Dr. Weidenreich.

The basic reconstruction began with the cranial vault from male skull XII because it preserves the proximal halves of both nasal bones and most of the lateral margin of the left orbit, including the superior part of the malar (zygomatic) bone. To these key structures were added the inferior portion of a left malar, the frontal process of a left maxilla, another portion of a left maxilla and two substantial portions of the right and left sides of the mandible. The mandible halves are from the same individual, while the cranial elements are from an assortment of different individuals.

The Proconsul africanus Skull was discovered by Mary Leakey in 1948 on Rusinga Island, Kenya. This specimen, based on the 1948 Leakey discovery, is the most complete Proconsul africanus cranium to date. Alan Walker reclassified Proconsul africanus, a Miocene hominoid, as heseloni in 1993. The skull is characterized by the absence of browridges (unlike in modern apes) and the presence of a projecting face. Members of this genus are considered dental apes because their teeth possessed ape-like features. Their teeth also indicate that they were primarily a fruit-eating species. On the other hand, their limb skeletons share monkey-like features. The evidence provided by a wide range of skeletal remains points toward considerable variation within the genus Proconsul, their body size extending from the size of a small monkey to a female gorilla. They also inhabited a variety of environments from rainforests to open woodlands.

Customer review: "Thank you for sending me my Venus of Willendorf cast. She is beautifully done."

Exact replica (cast) of mammoth figurine, made of resin. The original made of mammoth ivory was found in 2007 in Vogelherd cave in Lonetal, Germany, Europe, and now is deposited in University of Tubingen, Germany. This 37 mm long, 7.5 gram figurine, made from mammoth ivory, is some 35 000 years old. It is one of the oldest pieces of art ever found.

The geological context of the discoveries and radiocarbon dating indicate that the figurine belong to the Aurignacian culture, which refers to an area of southern France and is associated with the arrival of the first modern humans in Europe. Multiple radiocarbon dates from sediment in the Vogelherd Cave yielded ages between 30,000 and 36,000 years ago, the University of Tübingen reports. Some methods give an even older date.
