Sculpture and History = Paleoartist


Way back in June, the New York Times ran an article on Viktor Deak, paleoartist.

What is a paleoartist? It's someone who combines archeology and art, using a scientific approach with bone fragments to reconsturct what our ancestors might have looked like. Deak has just finished a massive 78 foot mural that is the setting for the exhibition "Lucy's Legacy." Mr. Deak’s work can be seen on his Web site, www.anatomicalorigins.com.

Check it out for a little science fiction, a lot of science fact.
