This specimen, based on the 1948 Leakey discovery, is the most complete \u003cem\u003eProconsul africanus \u003c\/em\u003ecranium to date. Alan Walker reclassified \u003cem\u003eProconsul africanus\u003c\/em\u003e, a Miocene hominoid, as \u003cem\u003eheseloni\u003c\/em\u003e in 1993. The skull is characterized by the absence of browridges (unlike in modern apes) and the presence of a projecting face. Members of this genus are considered dental apes because their teeth possessed ape-like features. Their teeth also indicate that they were primarily a fruit-eating species. On the other hand, their limb skeletons share monkey-like features. The evidence provided by a wide range of skeletal remains points toward considerable variation within the genus \u003cem\u003eProconsul\u003c\/em\u003e, their body size extending from the size of a small monkey to a female gorilla. They also inhabited a variety of environments from rainforests to open woodlands\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reconstruction used the original skull correcting some of the distortion found in the original and sculpting some of the missing elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease allow approximately 2 weeks production time for this item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasures approximately 5 1\/4\" x 4\" high 3 1\/4\" wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BigfootCasts.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67842559738225,"sku":"bqu1792496086372","price":93.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/8969\/6369\/files\/proconsul-africanus-skull-2-reconstruction-cranium-replica-full-size-reconstruct_1.jpg?v=1792496097","url":"https:\/\/heathbriskpack.shop\/products\/proconsul-africanus-skull-2-reconstruction-cranium-replica-full-size-reconstruction-cast","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
