EDITORS COMMENTS
This lateral view cast of Qafzeh 6 showcases the well-preserved cranium of a Homo sapiens individual, discovered at Djebel Kafzeh, Israel in 1934. Unearthed by renowned archaeologists R. Neuville and M. Stekelis, this fossilized skull dates back to the Middle Palaeolithic period, approximately 250,000 to 35,000 years before present. The intricate details of the cranial structure, along with the visible dentition, offer valuable insights into the anatomy of our early human ancestors. Homo sapiens, the modern human species, is characterized by various distinct features, including a rounded skull, prominent brow ridges, and a large braincase. Qafzeh 6 exemplifies these traits, providing a glimpse into the evolutionary history of our species. The Middle Palaeolithic period marked a significant transition in human evolution, with the emergence of advanced toolmaking, increased social complexity, and the spread of Homo sapiens out of Africa. The discovery of Qafzeh 6, along with numerous other fossils from the same site, has contributed significantly to our understanding of early Homo sapiens populations in the Middle East and their cultural developments during this time. This cast serves as a testament to the rich archaeological heritage of Israel and the broader Asia-Mediterranean region.
