3D reconstruction of the fossil skull of the sub-adult early Homo from the Dmanisi site in Georgia. The green, orange and red colors represent the preserved teeth (imaged respectively with the synchrotron at 5um, with the synchrotron at 47um, and with an industrial scanner at 250um). The blue teeth are missing ones added by mirroring their symmetrical counterparts. The purple first lower incisors have not been recovered, and have been extrapolated form the second lower incisor.
