Neanderthal Homo neanderthalensis - Endocast - cast of resin

This is resin cast copy of Neandrethal brain -  the endocranial cast of the fossil of Gánovce (Slovak Republic), a Neanderthal individual. It is the fossilised cranium of a Neanderthal man, who died in the Gánovce Hrádok area near Poprad. So far, only a few fossilised crania have been found.
