3B Scientific's range of anthropological skulls has been newly reissued in its entirety. The results are plain to see. The Steinheim skull model is the finest casting produced from scientifically made copies of specimens featured in the collection at the Institute of Anthropology and Human Genetics for Biologists at the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University, Frankfurt/Main, Germany. This means that all the details in each anthropological skull can be reproduced absolutely accurately. This Steinheim unique replica is supplemented by having it displayed on a pedestal that contains a relief map of the geographical area where the specimen was found.
