Anthropological skull, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis

This anthropological skull is cast after a reconstruction of the skull of a Homo (sapiens) neanderthalensis human, specifically a 50-55 year old man who lived 35,000-45,000 years ago.

The skull measures 22 x 16 x 22.5 cm cm and weighs approximately 1.4 kg. It comes on a stand showing a map of the area where the original skull was found.

Like other anthropological skulls, this skull is also produced from scientific copies of specimens from the collection of the "Institute of Anthropology and Human Genetics for Biologists" at the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University, Frankfurt/Main, Germany.

It should be added that the original skull (of which this model is a cast) was found in La Chapelle-aux-Saint, France, 1908.
