Reconstruction of Homo rudolfensis KNM-ER 1470

Description

This is a reconstruction of a hominin that lived in east Africa about 1.9 million years ago. It is modelled on a famous skull known as KNM-ER 1470 which was found at Koobi Fora, Kenya in 1972. Hundreds of small, fossilised bone fragments were recovered before this work of reconstruction could begin.
