Description
resin reproduction of the skull of an Peking man (Pithecanthropus pekinenses or Sinathropus), from the original reconstruction prepared by Dr. F. Weidenreich and Mrs. Lucille Swan in 1937 from the fossil remains of several different individuals found in the caves at Zhoukoudian, China. The skull is somewhat unique in that a rare metopic suture is present along the mid-line of the frontal bone. The re-creation offered here is based on a more recent reconstruction by Sawyer and Tattersall of the American Museum of Natural History. In Sawyer's and Tattersall's reconstruction, the jaw is more massive based on males, while the original was based on females. Cranial capacity averages about 1050 cc. The skull has a large brow ridge and a ridge of bone on the back of the skull.
