Primate Skulls for Mammalogy
Primate skull replicas – This collection shows the skeletal traits of our closest living relatives. We feature 1:1 scale casts of chimps, gorillas, and orangutans. Every model is molded from original California Academy of Sciences (CAS) specimens. These casts reveal the robust cranial shapes of the great apes. You can examine the massive sagittal crests on male gorilla replicas. Those ridges anchored their heavy chewing muscles. Our chimpanzee casts highlight pronounced brow ridges and protruding faces. We also include orangutan craniums that show the large canine sockets of these climbing primates. Each 2-part cranium and mandible set is made from durable resin. Made in the USA, these Primate skull replicas stand up to frequent handling in research laboratories. They provide a clear look at the structural changes in the primate lineage.
