Short Description

Casts and reconstructions of early populations and hominins have always been and still are part of science and education. They are also of great importance in the popularisation of anthropological research. This collection now consists of over 2000 objects in two main areas: Casts of fossils important to hominin evolution plus associated reconstructions and a collection of casts of modern people, which were used to study ”racial characteristics”. In 1995 a cast and reconstruction collection was established at the Museum of Natural History in Vienna.
