The sculpture of an ancient man is based on archaeological finds of bones and used current anthropological knowledge and criminal identification techniques to produce a model of a human of the changeover phase from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. He is deliberately modeled as a thinker — the implements on display in this room show that he certainly used mental power to survive.
