Australopithecus Jaw Replica

Description

Australopithecus jaw replica measures 5.0 x 3.5 x 2.5 inches. The Australopithecus africanus jaw is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast. 1:1 scale. Made in USA.

Australopithecus africanus was an early hominin that lived between roughly 3.3 and 2.1 million years ago in the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene of South Africa.

As a gracile australopithecine, it had a more lightly built skull and  smaller chewing teeth compared to the later more robust hominids, with an evoutionary focus on a more generalized diet.
