Modern man
Modern man. Model of a Homo sapien man. Modern humans are characterised by the lighter build of their skeletons compared to earlier humans. Modern humans also have very large brains, housed within a reorganised skull. This has produced the modern appearance of a high vaulted cranium with a flat, almost vertical forehead. Also, the ridging above the eye sockets is very reduced. There are two theories, known as the Multiregion Hypothesis and the Out of Africa Hypothesis, concerning the origin of modern Homo sapiens. The oldest fossil evidence for modern humans found in Africa dates back 130, 000 years

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 print showcases the modern man, a model of Homo sapien man. With a lighter build compared to our ancestors, modern humans possess larger brains housed within reorganized skulls. These unique features contribute to their distinct appearance - a high vaulted cranium with an almost vertical forehead and reduced ridging above the eye sockets. The image not only highlights the biological aspects but also delves into two intriguing theories regarding the origin of modern Homo sapiens. The Multiregion Hypothesis suggests that human evolution occurred simultaneously in different regions, while the Out of Africa Hypothesis proposes that all modern humans originated from Africa. As we gaze upon this remarkable representation, it is awe-inspiring to consider that the oldest fossil evidence for our species dates back 130,000 years in Africa. This photograph serves as a testament to our continuous quest for knowledge about human evolution and sheds light on our shared ancestry. With its blend of biology, anthropology, paleontology, and anatomy, this image encapsulates the interdisciplinary nature of scientific exploration. It invites us to ponder humanity's journey through time and marvel at how far we have come as Homo sapiens. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in history with this thought-provoking portrayal of "Modern Man. "
