Anthropoids / Hominids

Australopithecus africanus (DART, 1925)Also known as "Taung child" or "Taung baby".Type specimen.Fragmentary infant skull. This cast of an infant skull with a full cranial casting is from one of the oldest hominid species. The receding forehead, the bulging eyebrows and the protruding lower part of the facial skull are characteristic of these precursors of Homo sapiens.Age: Lower Pleistocene; Location: Taung, Northwest Province, South AfricaSize: 15 x 11 x 13 cmDeilvery: If the cast is marked ‘green – in stock’, it will be shipped within 2–4 days.

Cast of a skull without lower jaw.Also known under the collection number "Sts 5".At that time assigned to the genus Plesianthropus (BROOM, 1947), hence the nickname "Mrs. Ples".
