Model of an early hominid (Australopithecus sp. )
Australopithecus anamensis. Model of an early female hominid, Australopithecus anamensis. While A. anamensis had an ape-like jaw and brain, it stood on two legs making it the earliest bipedal human ancestor. This australopithecine lived in Africa over 4.1 million years ago. While its evolutionary history is uncertain, it is intermediate in age and morphology between the 4.4 million year old Ardipithecus ramidus and the more developed Australopithecus afarensis. Fossils of A. anamensis were first found in Kanapoi, Kenya, in 1995. This exhibition by Nordstar was photogra- phed at the Naturkundemuseum, Stuttgart, Germany

Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. 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). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a meticulously crafted model of an early hominid, specifically Australopithecus anamensis. This female specimen represents a crucial link in our evolutionary history, as it stood on two legs despite possessing ape-like features such as its jaw and brain. Dating back over 4.1 million years ago in Africa, A. anamensis is considered the earliest bipedal human ancestor known to us. Its significance lies not only in its ability to walk upright but also in its intermediate position between Ardipithecus ramidus and Australopithecus afarensis, both pivotal species in the study of human evolution. Fossils of A. anamensis were first discovered in Kanapoi, Kenya, back in 1995, shedding light on this enigmatic creature's existence and providing valuable insights into our ancient past. Photographed at the Naturkundemuseum in Stuttgart, Germany by Science Photo Library for Nordstar's exhibition, this image beautifully captures the essence of paleoanthropology and palaeontology. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come as a species and ignites curiosity about our shared origins with these remarkable beings. By exploring topics like anthropology and hominids through visual representations like this one, we can deepen our understanding of humanity's complex journey throughout time while appreciating the meticulous work that goes into reconstructing our distant past.
