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

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
