Fossilised teeth, Sima de los Huesos
Fossilised teeth, Sima de los Huesos. These teeth were found at Sima de los Huesos (Pit of Bones) and are the most found for any human species, world-wide. The teeth belong to Homo heidelbergensis and date back 400, 000 years. Sima de los Huesos is one of several archaeological sites in Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain, that have been studied on and off over the past century, leading to a massive advancement in the understanding of human evolution. In 2000, Sierra de Atapuerca was made a world heritage site by UNESCO

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of fossilized teeth discovered at Sima de los Huesos (Pit of Bones), Spain. These remarkable teeth belong to Homo heidelbergensis, an early human species that roamed the Earth approximately 400,000 years ago. What makes this find truly extraordinary is that it represents the largest number of human species teeth ever found worldwide. Sima de los Huesos is part of Sierra de Atapuerca, a region in Spain renowned for its rich archaeological sites. Over the past century, these sites have been intermittently studied, leading to groundbreaking advancements in our understanding of human evolution. In recognition of its immense scientific value, UNESCO declared Sierra de Atapuerca a world heritage site in 2000. The excavation and examination of these fossilized teeth provide compelling evidence for multiple aspects related to humanity's ancient past. They offer invaluable insights into dental anatomy and contribute significantly to fields such as anthropology, paleontology, and evolutionary biology. As we gaze upon this image capturing fragments from our distant ancestors' lives, we are reminded not only of their existence but also how far we have come as a species. This photograph serves as a testament to the tireless efforts made by scientists and researchers who continue to unravel the mysteries surrounding our origins through meticulous study and exploration.
