The Human History Room in the Mediterranean Natural History Museum illustrates man’s physical and cultural
evolution, with particular reference to population of the Mediterranean area.
A fascinating and easily-understood itinerary includes casts of hominid fossils, descriptions of the
biological and paleon-tographic evidence of the long journey it is thought leads from anthropomorphous African
apes to modern man, and stone implements used in prehistoric times.
Visitors can examine the face of a Neanderthal man (reproduced by applying the techniques of forensic medicine
to a Neanderthal skull), and admire copies of the rock paintings of the famous Lascaux caves or prehistoric
statues of Venus.
