The Jawbone
Available for over a year
Dr Tom Higham from Oxford Radiocarbon Unit and Dr Roger Jacobi from the British Museum analyse a small jawbone found in Kent's Cavern in Torquay over 80 years ago. Is the bone part of the remains of one of the oldest examples of a modern human to be found in Europe or is it a Neanderthal?
