"A sort of bovine contentment"
"A sort of bovine contentment"
Smithsonian magazine has a feature highlighting the fleshed-out hominin reconstructions of John Gurche ("A Closer Look at Evolutionary Faces").
While Homo erectus, which lived at about the same time, was sampling meat, P. boisei remained a devout vegetarian, which is why, Gurche says, “the expression I was going for was a sort of bovine contentment.”
The reconstructions are part of the new human evolution hall at the National Museum of Natural History.
