Tokyo’s National Science Museum is putting a rare hominid skull on public
display for the first time. Called “Reviving Pithecanthropus”, the exhibition
will feature one of the best preserved skulls belonging to Java Man, believed to
be about 800 000 years old. The show also features life-sized reconstructions of
Java Man based on fossilised skeletons found in Java in 1969. Worth catching if
you’re in Tokyo before 24 November.
