Replica of Homo sapiens Skull (Modern Human Anatomical Specimen) Description – Materials & Creation Process: This anatomically precise replica is 3D-printed from durable plastic (PETG/ABS) using a high-resolution digital scan of a modern human skull. Meticulously hand-painted to accurately reproduce all anatomical features and the natural coloration of bone tissue. Dimensions: Full-scale, life-sized replica: 23 cm / 9.1" (length) × 15 cm / 5.9" (width) × 21 cm / 8.3" (height) Jaw: Fixed lower jaw (monolithic construction) Anthropological Significance:
Dating: Modern anatomical specimen
Origin: Digitally modeled from an actual human skull scan
Importance:
Reference standard for modern human anatomy
Cranial capacity: ~1,350-1,450 cm³ (typical for H. sapiens)
Baseline specimen for comparison with fossil hominins
Distinctive Features:
Cranial Morphology:
High, rounded cranial vault
Vertical forehead
Prominent chin
Gracile facial structure
Diagnostic Characteristics:
Absence of supraorbital ridges
Reduced jaw and tooth size
Globular neurocranium
Scientific Applications:
Gold standard for fossil comparisons
Demonstration of cranial evolutionary changes
Primary Uses:
Anatomical studies
Anthropological analysis
Medical and biological education
Demonstration material
Collectors' item
Note: Manufactured under anatomical supervision using CT-scanned data from reference collections. All proportions adhere to standard anthropometric measurements for modern human populations. This version:
Maintains scientific precision while being accessible
Includes exact inch conversions (rounded to 0.1")
Clearly differentiates between anatomical features and diagnostic characteristics
Presents applications in both research and education contexts
Would you like to emphasize any particular aspect of the skull's morphology or add information about population-specific variations?
