This lab provides a way for students to virtually examine hominin fossils. All instructions are available below.
The fossils are freely available to view online via www.sketchfab.com. There is also a Sketchfab app available for Android and iOS mobile devices (e.g., phones, tablets). Feel free to use what is most convenient. Sketchfab is a really cool site that let’s you interact with 3D models.
Use the following instructional sheet to compare the pairs of fossils listed below.
