BH-001 $299.00

2.9 to 3.6 MYA. Australopithecus afarensis is the best represented early hominid with approximately 300 individuals representing the species. The australopithecines are only known from Africa; none have ever been found in Europe or Asia. They had ape-like and human-like characteristics. Like apes, australopithecines had long arms with curved fingers, a flat nose and strong jaw with a cranial capacity ranging from 375 to 500cc. Like humans, they had small canine teeth and had a lower body capable of bipedal walking. This full-size skull was sculpted for Bone Clones by scientific sculptor Steven Wagner. It is a generalized representation of a male afarensis—not reflective of any one specimen.

The Bone Clones® Fossil Hominid line is composed of discoveries from anatomically modern humans, archaic humans, early Homo, early hominins, and other hominids. The majority of the casts in this line have been recreated by our team of anatomical sculptors. Some are reconstructions made by anthropology professionals using fragmentary elements from original discoveries and extrapolating the missing parts from those (i.e. Neanderthal skeleton).
