Replica Skull of Homo erectus pekinensis (Weidenreich, 1940)

This replica of a Sinanthropus skull is an accurate casting reconstructed by Weinert and modelled from drawings by Black and Weidenreich after the original bone specimens were lost. It is displayed on a pedestal with a relief map of the specimen's discovery area at Zhoukoudian, southwest of Beijing. The model represents Homo erectus pekinensis, an early human species, and is suitable for teaching anthropology.
