For these skulls are themselves artefacts sculpted in stone by natural forces. They are no longer ancestral remains. All living tissue and bone is gone and replaced with rock. Many were found incomplete, even smashed into shards by the processes that made them, to be be rebuilt millennia later by remote descendants; archeologists building careers around them. Weaving stories about how they fit into the human family tree. Some are then raised to the status of ancestors to Homo Sapiens. These particular skulls are then treasured. They become cultural objects–testimony to the rise of man.
