Gibraltar 2

[citation needed] Prehistoric man resided in Gibraltar, the British Overseas Territory at the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula.

[2][3] The evidence was first found in the Devil's Tower Road area, at Forbes' Quarry, in the north face of the Rock of Gibraltar.

[5] Later that year, the Gibraltar Skull was sent to England and exhibited by George Busk at the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, with its similarity to the Neander Valley fossils noted.

[citation needed] The excavations at the Devil's Tower cave started in November 1925 and continued until December 1926 in three phases.

[8] Garrod found five skull fragments which were described by the archaeologist and others in The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland in 1928.

[5][6][9] In a study described in 1993 in the Journal of Human Evolution, the striation pattern of the dental enamel of the Devil's Tower Child fossil was compared to that of modern hunter-gatherers and medieval individuals from Spain.

[12] By 2008, the face of the Devil's Tower Child had been reconstructed (pictured below) at the University of Zurich by means of computer-assisted paleoanthropology (CAP).

This involved using computed tomography (CT) to perform volume data acquisition of the five skull fragments unearthed by Garrod in 1926.

By means of laser stereolithography, the virtual reconstruction of the face and skull of the Devil's Tower Child was converted to a physical model.
