Fossilised skull of a Homo erectus boy from Kenya
Homo erectus skull. View of a fossilised skull of an early human (Homo erectus). Despite being less than 12 years old, this boy was already 168 cm in height. Homo erectus, or erect man, lived between roughly 1.8-0.3 million years ago and originated in Africa. They were the first humans to leave Africa, reaching Asia and possibly southern Europe. H. erectus had prominent brow ridges and a projecting face. This skull, dated at 1.6 million years old, is part of a skeleton that was found in Nariokotome in Kenya in 1984. It is in an exhibition by Nordstar and was photographed at the Naturkundemuseum in Stuttgart, Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fossilised skull of a Homo erectus boy from Kenya. Belonging to an early human species, Homo erectus, this particular individual was less than 12 years old but already stood at an impressive height of 168 cm. The Homo erectus species existed between approximately 1.8-0.3 million years ago and originated in Africa before venturing out to Asia and potentially southern Europe, making them the first humans to leave Africa. Characterized by their prominent brow ridges and projecting face, H. erectus played a significant role in our understanding of human evolution. This specific skull, dating back 1.6 million years, is part of a larger skeleton discovered in Nariokotome, Kenya in 1984. Currently exhibited by Nordstar at the Naturkundemuseum in Stuttgart, Germany, this photograph captures the essence of paleoanthropology and offers us a glimpse into our ancient past. It serves as a reminder that these hominids were once living beings who roamed the Earth long before our time. The image not only highlights the importance of anthropology and paleontology but also emphasizes how fossils like this one contribute to our knowledge about human history and evolution. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this relic for all enthusiasts eager to delve deeper into humanity's ancestral roots.
