Anthropology Cranium Set
Anthropology Cranium Set (Product Code: SLE/A/129) is a set of 5 cast Hydrostone replicas of early hominid-type crania used to teach human evolution in anthropology, biology and archaeology courses. It covers Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus africanus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis, so students can compare the crania side by side. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Anthropology Cranium Set Used For?
Placed in the order in which the species appear in the fossil record, the five crania let students see the broad trends of human evolution for themselves. The braincase becomes larger and more rounded, the face projects less, and the jaws and teeth become smaller, while the heavy brow ridge of the Neanderthal cranium invites discussion of how closely related species differed. Students can also compare the position of the opening at the skull base where the spinal cord passes, a clue to upright walking.
A good practical asks groups to describe each cranium in their own words, then set it beside a modern human skull and list the differences. Homo habilis leads naturally into early stone-tool use, and Homo erectus into how early humans spread across continents. Hydrostone is a hard gypsum-based casting material, so handle the crania over a padded surface, keep them dry and dust them with a soft brush. For departments comparing human anatomical model manufacturers in India, the set adds evolutionary depth to a skull collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which crania are included in the Anthropology Cranium Set?
The Anthropology Cranium Set includes 5 cranium replicas: Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus africanus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis. Together they represent well-known early hominid-type species used in human evolution teaching.
What material is the Anthropology Cranium Set made of?
The Anthropology Cranium Set is cast in Hydrostone, a hard gypsum-based casting material. Handle the crania over a padded surface, keep them dry, and clean them with a soft brush rather than washing them with water.
Does the Anthropology Cranium Set include a modern human skull?
No. The Anthropology Cranium Set contains the 5 early hominid-type crania only. For comparison with modern humans, add a skull such as the Human Skull or the Economy Human Skull from our range to the same enquiry.
Which courses use the Anthropology Cranium Set?
The Anthropology Cranium Set is used in physical anthropology, in the human evolution units of biology and zoology courses, in archaeology teaching and in museum education, where learners compare braincase size, brow ridges and facial projection across species.
