Anthropological Skull – Broken Hill Or Kabwe

Range of anthropological skulls has been newly reissued in its entirety. The results are plain to see. All models are the finest castings produced from scientifically made copies of specimens featured in the collection at the Institute . This means that all the details can be reproduced absolutely accurately. This unique replica is supplemented by having it displayed on a pedestal that contains a relief map of the geographical area where the specimen was found.

This model is an accurate casting of a skull reconstructed from an original that was discovered in a iron ore working at Broken Hill, in north west Rhodesia (modern-day Kabwe in Zambia). It is an example of the early man, Homo sapiens rhodesiensis or a Homo erectus rhodesiensis, and indications exist to point to both these classifications. For this reason, there is also a wide spread in the estimates of the specimen's age based on differing scientific assumptions.

An early example of an ancient Homo sapiens (as classified by Henke and Rothe 1994) or a Homo erectus rhodesiensis.
