This piece was designed and sculpted by master sculptor Larry Williams. Because of the intricate detail and their superiority over the many plastic skulls on the market, medical students and artists are able to study and appreciate these replicas as if they were real. This sculptured series consists of four full size species which represent what the general consensus of authorities in the field believe to be the only known links to Homo sapiens. It is from casts, photographs, published diagrams and text describing these reconstructions that sculptor Larry Williams has developed this extraordinary Hominid Series for Skullduggery.
Skull Measurements Height: 6 in (15.24 cm) Width: 6 in (15.24 cm) Length: 9 in (22.86 cm)
Homo neanderthalensis is named after the Neander Valley in Germany. The discovery of the first Neanderthal is considered the beginning of modern paleoanthropology. Remains have been found in across Europe, from the British Isles to the Levant region. They crafted advanced tools, had a language of their own, and lived in complex social groups.
