French sculptor Elisabeth
Daynès has unveiled a
reconstruction of an early
homonid that could be the
missing link between man
and ape.
The Flores woman was
exhibited at the Musée de
l’Homme on December 11.
Mme Daynès rebuilt the
body from fossil remains,
discovered by a team of
Indonesian and Australian
researchers in a grotto on the
Indonesian island of Flores.
The discovery opens up
many questions about human
evolution and where Flores woman stands in it. Experts are
divided whether she is a Homo sapiens, a descendant of
Homo erectus who probably arrived on the island 850,000
years ago or an even older species. Evidence suggests a
hominid in its own right which has been named
Homo Floresiensis.
The induction of Homo Floresiensis into the museum
capped the international conference ‘Human Origins
Patrimony Studies in South East Asia’. The evening kicked
off with a lecture given by the researchers and Elisabeth
Daynès herself. A film showed how the figure was
painstakingly built up from layers of clay and silica. While
the woman’s sex, size and proportions were decided by
scientific estimates, the colour and texture of her skin and
hair had to be guessed at.
She was only one metre tall, a dwarf by 21st-century
human standards, and small even compared to Neanderthal
man (1m50). Proportionately, her arms are longer than
modern humans, her legs shorter and her feet bigger. She
has a flattish face with a little chin and protruding brows.
The artist has given her a wondering expression, as if about
to speak, and a posture suggesting movement. SZ
L’Homme exposé at the Muséée de l’Homme until April 30.
Open daily except Tuesdays 10 am-5pm.
