EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a meticulously crafted cast of the cranium and jaw bone of Homo heidelbergensis, better known as Homo neanderthalensis or Neandertal Man, discovered at the archaeological site of La Ferrassie in Dordogne, France. The original specimen, now referred to as La Ferrassie 1, was unearthed by D. Peyrony and L. Capitan in 1909, with an estimated age of approximately 70,000 years. The Neanderthal Man was a prominent member of the European prehistoric population during the Middle Palaeolithic and Upper Palaeolithic periods. This cast offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricacies of Neandertal anatomy, revealing a robust skull with distinctive features such as a prominent brow ridge, large nose, and recessed forehead. The accompanying jaw bone, or mandible, displays the characteristic heavy-set build and powerful jaw muscles typical of this hominid species. The Neanderthal Man's cranium and jaw bone are essential components of the rich archaeological record, providing valuable insights into the anatomical adaptations that enabled these early humans to thrive in the European Stone Age. The intricate details of the cast serve as a testament to the remarkable preservation of this ancient specimen and the advancements in palaeontological research. La Ferrassie 1 is a significant find in the study of human evolution, as it offers a tangible link to our ancestors and sheds light on the anatomical and behavioral differences between modern humans and our Neandertal forebears. This cast is an essential addition to any exhibition or collection dedicated to the study of human history and prehistoric anthropology.
