EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a front view of the cranium of Homo habilis, also known as KNM-ER 1813, discovered by K. Kimeu in 1973 at the archaeological site of Koobi Fora, Area 123, in Kenya. Dated around 1.8 million years old, this ancient Hominini skull is considered one of the earliest representatives of the Homo genus. The cranium is displayed as a cast, providing an intriguing glimpse into the anatomical features of this significant fossil. Homo habilis, which translates to "handy man," is renowned for its advanced hand and tool-making abilities, marking a crucial stage in human evolution. This cranium, with its small braincase and prominent brow ridge, offers valuable insights into the anatomy of our early hominid ancestors. The discovery of Homo habilis at Koobi Fora in Kenya expanded our understanding of human evolution in Africa and highlighted the richness of the region's fossil record. This print, with its precise scale in centimeters, offers a tangible connection to the past, inviting us to contemplate the remarkable journey of human evolution.
