Human evolution, conceptual artwork
Human evolution. Conceptual artwork showing how behaviour observed in modern chimpanzees, such as digging roots out of the ground, may be similar to that used by early humans. At left, a human is holding a tool and smoking a cigarette, while the chimpanzee at right is imitating this using twigs and branches. Modern humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor in their evolutionary tree, dating to around 6 million years ago

Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This conceptual artwork captures the fascinating similarities between modern humans and chimpanzees, shedding light on our shared evolutionary journey. The image showcases a male human and a chimpanzee, both engaged in behavior that hints at their common ancestry dating back around 6 million years. On the left side of the print, we see a human holding a tool while enjoying a cigarette. This seemingly mundane act is juxtaposed with the chimpanzee on the right, who imitates this behavior using twigs and branches as makeshift tools. It's remarkable to witness how behaviors observed in modern chimps, such as digging for roots, echo those used by early humans. The white background emphasizes the focus on these two individuals representing different points along our evolutionary tree. Through this illustration, we are reminded of our biological connection to primates and gain insight into animal behavior within an evolutionary context. This thought-provoking artwork not only highlights our shared traits but also sparks curiosity about how similar actions can manifest across species over time. It serves as a reminder of our place in nature's tapestry and invites us to contemplate humanity's complex relationship with other animals throughout history.
