Předmostí 3

Předmostí 3 was an Upper Paleolithic Homo sapiens from the Czech Republic, geologically dated to the Late Pleistocene.

[2] and has a cranial capacity of 1580 cubic centimetres (Holloway 2000;Holloway et al 2004)[3] The specimen was destroyed in 1945 in the Second World War as retreating German troops set fire to Mikulov Castle where the remains were stored.

[1] In a morphometric analysis of cranio-facial traits compared to modern humans, Předmostí 3 was found to correlate to a 73% similarity.

[clarification needed][4] Upper Paleolithic skulls are at least as flat-faced as modern ones, except for Predmosti 3[5]The skull belongs to a morphological Upper Palaeolithic group that also includes Grotte des Enfants 4, Barma Grande 5, Pavlov 1 and Sunghir 1.

[7] Předmostí 3's hand is similar to that of the Middle Paleolithic Skhul IV.
