Safari Ltd. Evolution of Man Set - Detailed Educational Human Evolution Toy Figurines - Realistic Human Development Stages Collection for Boys, Girls & Kids Age 4+

Awesome figurines! My son enjoys playing with them. They are good for little hands but have spears so I would only consider for ages 5 and up.

My daughter was doing a project on evolution and needed props to show the Theory of Evolution. This showed exactly that

This is a super cool kit for anthropologists young or old. For kids, these are a great way to start the discussion about the evolution of hominids. each figure is unique and has distinguishing details. They aren't just the same figure painted different ways or anything like that. My only complaint is that Homo Sapien is clearly a Proto-European. An African might have been more accurate. If you are getting them for little kids, they do have some pieces that a little one might want to chew on. So far, mine have held up fine.

I love these as a decoration in my office! The information on the back about the different species is surprisingly accurate, too. One of the figures has a bit of a struggle standing on its own, but easily rectified with a little ticky tack. It would be cool if the came with little stands to put them on with their identifications.

I love 'em. smaller than papo prehistorical man. a little bigger than half the size of gi joe. the hands are separate and glued around the walking sticks. Hands may come off as mine did. have to re-glue. they should add a monkey. I bought for the Australopithecus. very detailed early men and fun to have in my dinosaur collection.

The kids were fascinated with this series immediately. Our one complaint is that something broke off 3 of them within 24 hours - they're not for rough play, and they really wanted to interact with them. I showed all 3 kids some youtube video clips about each hominid, and how they might have lived. My five year old liked holding each one as its video came up. It is REALLY nice to see a kids' toy about human evolution. It's a rare treat!

Bought these little guys for my grandson who is really into dinosaurs ... has too many to count. Now he's into creating scenes so he needed some people. What better than cavemen ? These actually look better than the picture online and are nicely painted. Come on a single sealed card. Came on time with part of another order. Would buy from this vendor again.

These things are absolute garbage. They look like they were all painted with a dark brown. You can barely make out any different details. I would strongly recommend looking for different ones as I now have to do.

Obwohl man mit diesem Set auch spielen könnte, ist es doch primär für pädagogische Zwecke entwickelt und hergestellt worden. Und dafür ist es in der Tat sehr gut geeignet. Die Figuren sind anschaulich, auch wenn nicht unbedingt in jeder Hinsicht filigran gearbeitet. Trotzdem erhalten Kinder eine gute Anschauung von den Entwicklungsformen des frühen Menschen vom Australopithecus Lucy bis zum heutigen Menschentypus. Außer vermutlich in konservativen US-Bundesstatten, in denen man statt Evolutionstheorie auf intelligent design setzt oder in völkisch orientierten Gemeinschaften, wo der Arier direkt aus Atlantis herbeigeschwommen kam, sind diese Figuren ideal für eine spielerische Entdeckung der menschlichen Evolutionsgeschichte geeignet. Kinder können diese Figuren z.B. in die zutreffende chronologische Reihenfolge bringen, die augenfälligen Unterschiede zwischen ihnen benennen, sie passend vorbereiteten Modellhabilitaten zuordnen usw. Didaktisch eröffnen sich hier auf jeden Fall viele Optionen. Und wer das alles einfach zu überfrachtet findet, kann sie sich auch ins Regal, auf den Monitor oder das Kaminsims stellen - oder wo sonst auch immer die kleinen Vor-, Früh- und Jetztmenschen einen netten Platz erhalten sollen.

Para el trabajo del cole de mi nieto llevaba lo que necesitaba!!

J'ai reçu mon colis 2 jours avant la date prévue, c'est extra. Les figurines sont petites (la taille est indiquée sur le descriptif, pas de mauvaise surprise). Elles détaillent bien les différentes étapes de l'évolution de l'homme (ou une bonne partie du moins). Mon fils de 8 ans a adoré les recevoir pour les manipuler en complément de son cours à l'école. Nous pensons recréer leurs environnements respectifs pour compléter (mais l'enseignante de mon fils les a gardé en classe pour le moment). Dommage qu'il n'existe pas, chez le même fabricant, les animaux de la préhistoire (mammouth, aurochs, ours, smilodon, rhinocéros laineux, megaceros, bison des steppes...)

Fairy detailed and there's a bit of information about each on the back.

I really like the figures .. should have not waited or hesitated to buy them before. They have very detailed faces and bodies, and they all stand on their own except for my Homo Erectus whose feet are not flat enough, however will squash a little plasticene under his feet to look like ground, and problem solved! Wish there were other figures ... maybe Denisovan Man or Homo floresienis or Homo luzonensis ...
