This exhibition presents three fossil skulls from the Sima de los Huesos, in the Sierra de Atapuerca (Burgos). The hominids from this site are ancestors of Neanderthals.

These three individuals died in the age we call preadolescence, the end of childhood. The age of our dreams and fantasies. Then comes puberty, the time of hormonal turmoil and great physical and mental change.

Two of these individuals have serious medical conditions. Skull 11 suffered a blow to the left eyebrow, although we know he survived the accident because the bone shows signs of regeneration.
