Facing our relatives: The discovery, analysis, and reconstruction of the ancient Harbin cranium
Come hear John Gurche talk about the intersection of science and art in bringing to life an Ice Age hominin from northeastern China featured on the cover of the most recent issue of National Geographic. John is a world-renowned paleoartist and PRI’s artist-in-residence.

His restorations of ancient life have appeared in Natural History magazine, Scientific American, the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and the Field Museum in Chicago.
