Robert Bruce Foote Sangankal Archaeological Museum in Ballari has added one more clone skull of Homo narmadensis which is believed to be more than three lakh years old. The addition of the new clone skull has increased the number of clone skulls on display to 15.
Perhaps, this is the only museum in the country dedicated to pre-history having as many as 15 skulls under one roof. There were 14 clone skulls that were found in various parts of the world, including the famous Lucy which dates to 32 lakh years ago.
At a simple function on Sunday, well-known dentist S. Diwakar, who was the chief guest, received the skull from Ravi Korishettar, renowned archaeologist and an authority on pre-history, and put it on display.
