Atapuerca (in Spanish, with incomplete English translation) is the site of the earliest European hominid ancestors yet found in Europe. Two of the most stunning finds are
Gran Dolina, where the first
Homo antecessor fossils were found, and Sima de los Huesos, site of the most complete
Homo heidelbergensis fossils ever excavated. And soon: an
exhibit at the Museum of Natural History in New York. I know my plans for January 11th.

Previously discussed
here, the
Body World exhibition in, London, Brick Lane is hosting what is to be the last
publicly performed autopsy before they are banned. I've seen the exhibition and felt that it was done very well, but I'm not sure ill be attending the autopsy with as much haste. Macabre voyeurism or lay man intrigue? Its being rumored that is may also be televised on
channel 4

Controversial corpse exhibit,
Körperwelten (Body Worlds), is set to display human corpses in London, UK in two days. UK health department concluded that the exhibit did not breach the 1984 Anatomy Act as the law did not cover the preservation of corpses by means of plastination, a technique invented by
Professor Gunther von Hagens, the creator of the exhibit.
