EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the lateral and frontal views of a cast of a remarkable Homo sapiens cranium, famously known as Cro-Magnon 1. Discovered in March 1868 near the Les Eyzies de Tayac station in France, this adult male skull, estimated to be around 45 years of age at the time of his death, offers an intriguing glimpse into our ancient past. The Cro-Magnon 1 skull is an essential piece of anthropological history, as it is one of the earliest known examples of anatomically modern humans in Europe. Its discovery marked a significant milestone in the understanding of human evolution and the emergence of Homo sapiens in Europe. The lateral view of the skull reveals the prominent brow ridge, large orbital openings, and the distinct zygomatic arch, which are characteristic features of Homo sapiens. The frontal view, on the other hand, showcases the relatively flat forehead and the recessed facial features, which distinguish this skull from earlier hominid species. This cast is an essential resource for anatomists, archaeologists, and researchers, providing valuable insights into the morphology and evolution of our species. The Cro-Magnon 1 skull is a testament to the rich history of human evolution and our deep connection to the ancient world. This print serves as a reminder of the fascinating journey of human evolution and the incredible discoveries that continue to shape our understanding of our past. The intricate details of the skull's features, captured in this cast, offer a unique perspective on the anatomy of our earliest known European ancestors.
