Australopithecus afarensis Skull BH-001 2.9 to 3.6 MYA. Australopithecus afarensis Skull. The australopithecines are only known from Africa and are believed to be the earliest known true hominids. None has ever been found in Europe or Asia. They had ape-sized brains; their cranial capacity ranged from 375 to 530 cc. The cranial capacity of Australopithecus afarensis had a similar range. They had strong jaws with large teeth. Like modern gorillas the adult males were much larger than the females. The babies probably took approximately the same length of time to grow up as a modern chimpanzee or gorilla. This full size skull was sculpted for Bone Clones by scientific sculptor Steven Wagner. Stand available. See S-BH-001. |
