Constant Roux (1865-1942), sculptor from Marseille. In 1910 he began working in collaboration with the architect Emmanuel Pontremoli (1865-1956) on the exterior decoration of the Institut de Paléontologie Humaine and, between 1912 and 1925, produced a series of 18 bas-reliefs in Euville stone, representing the history of humanity, which adorn the façade of the building.
Albert I, who took part in scientific debates on the existence of Paleolithic burials and prehistoric art, created the Institut de Paléontologie Humaine in 1910. The institute was built between 1912 and 1914 on the site of a former horse market, at the corner of rue René-Panhard and Boulevard Saint-Marcel in Monte Carlo, but its first purpose was to serve as a dispensary for war wounded. The Institut was inaugurated on 23 December 1920
