Java Man reconstruction
Java Man reconstruction. Reconstruction of the head of Java Man (Pithecanthropus erectus), later renamed Homo erectus. Reconstructions of Java Man are based on hominid fossil remains, including a skull cap and complete femur (thighbone), found in 1898 during excavations lead by Eugene Dubois (1858-1940). They were found in sedimentary deposits at a bend of the Solo river in Central Java, Indonesia. Homo erectus is the most widespread and longest-surviving of all the fossil hominids. Its geographical spread included north and east Africa, Europe, Indonesia and China. It lived between 1 and 2 million years ago. Artwork from The Outline of Science (J. Arthur Thomson, 1922)

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print showcases a meticulous reconstruction of the head of Java Man, also known as Pithecanthropus erectus and later renamed Homo erectus. The detailed artwork is based on fossil remains discovered in 1898 during excavations led by Eugene Dubois along the Solo river in Central Java, Indonesia. These remains included a skull cap and complete femur, providing valuable insights into our ancient human ancestors. Homo erectus holds great significance in the field of paleoanthropology as it is the most widespread and longest-surviving fossil hominid species. Its presence spanned across various regions including north and east Africa, Europe, Indonesia, and China. This particular individual lived between 1 to 2 million years ago during the Pleistocene epoch. The artistry displayed in this illustration transports us back to prehistoric times when early humans roamed the Earth. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and offers glimpses into what life might have been like for these early inhabitants. Originally featured in "The Outline of Science" by J. Arthur Thomson in 1922, this image captures not only an important moment in scientific discovery but also represents a pivotal era within the history of science itself. Through this remarkable artwork from Science Photo Library, we are able to appreciate both the beauty and complexity involved in reconstructing our ancestral past while honoring those who dedicated their lives to unraveling humanity's origins.
