Abstract: Preparation of the Singa calvaria has permitted study of further morphological and endocranial details. Preparation techniques are described, including the use of acetic acid and ethanolamine thioglycollate, and the specimen was examined for signs of pathology which might account for the unusual cranial shape and diploic thickening.The meningeal vessel patterns and endocast are described, and it is suggested that the Singa individual may have been left-handed.This study provides further data in support of the recent view that the Singa specimen represents an archaic rather than anatomically modern population.
