NATURAL HISTORY - NEANDERTHAL MAN SKULL REPLICA A museum quality reproduction of a Homo neanderthalensis skull reproduced from the original skull discovered at Forbes Quarry, Gibraltar, middle to late Pleistocene Period, 40-25,000 years BP. 519 grams, 20.5cm (8 1/4"). Very fine condition. Footnotes The discovery in 1856 of a skullcap and partial skeleton in a cave in the Neander valley near Dusseldorf, Germany, signalled the first recognized fossil human form. While it was later realised that several Neanderthal sites had previously been discovered, their remains were not recognised as those of an archaic form of human until the discovery of "Neanderthal Man." In 1864 a new species was recognised: Homo neanderthalensis.
