Human Biology Collection
The human biology collection dates back to the former Anthropological Institute, which was discontinued in 2006. The objects are used to teach the evolution of man. There are replicas of hominid skulls, primate skulls, human skulls with pathological changes, etc. There are also early tools (handaxes, etc.) and art from prehistoric times. For many years, the collection was used to educate students of biology education and in the bachelor's program. Currently, the collection is in storage.
