I've compiled a list of photo URLs for the Origins of Humankind site which
should be ready soon. I would go along with Roger and I recommend the
images of the Gibraltar Neanderthals from the Natural History Museum in
Londons Human Origins Unit
(http://www.nhm.ac.uk/science/palaeo/project2/index.html).
They are:
Side view (http://www.nhm.ac.uk/science/palaeo/project2/skull1.gif)
Front view (http://www.nhm.ac.uk/science/palaeo/project2/skull2.gif)
If you want to reproduce them for profit or other gain then you would have to
contact them.
If anyone knows of any other URLs I'd be happy to add them to the list.
