Bone Cast Cranium Cro Magnon Facial Fossil Fossilised Hominini Homo Homo Sapiens Human Skull
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a frontal view cast of the cranium, believed to be from an adult Homo sapiens, popularly known as Stetten 1. Discovered in July 1931 by German archaeologist Gustav Riek at the Vogelherd-Hohle cave, northwest of Stetten, Germany, this fossilized skull is a significant find in the study of human evolution. The Homo sapiens cranium, with its prominent brow ridge, large braincase, and well-defined facial features, is an excellent representation of the Cro-Magnon type, characterized by modern human morphology. The skull's well-preserved state allows for a detailed examination of the facial and cranial anatomy, providing valuable insights into the physical characteristics of our ancient ancestors. The Homo sapiens, a member of the Hominini tribe, is the only extant species in the Homo genus. This discovery, along with other findings from the same time period, provides evidence of the presence of modern humans in Europe during the Upper Paleolithic period. The intricacies of the skull's structure, preserved in this cast, serve as a testament to the rich history and evolutionary journey of our species. The Stetten 1 cranium is a crucial piece of the puzzle in understanding our past, providing a tangible connection to our ancestors and the remarkable journey of human evolution.
