Extended Data Fig. 4: General comparison of ATE7-1 with Early Pleistocene specimens from Africa and Eurasia in lateral view.

From: The earliest human face of Western Europe

Extended Data Fig. 4

Lateral view of the superimposition of the virtual reconstruction of ATE7-1 with a) D2282, b) KNM-ER-3733, c) ATD6-69, d) D4500 and e) Sangiran 17. The comparative fossils are in ghost texture while ATE7 is shown in opaque texture. In this figure it is possible to observe that ATE7-1 shares the same rectilinear morphology of the nasal lateral margin as the comparative specimens except for ATD6-69, which has a curved profile. The morphological differences are also obvious with D4500 because of the long and strongly sloped clivus in the Dmanisi specimen versus the shorter and relatively less inclined clivus in ATE7-1.
