EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library takes us back in time to the Late Pleistocene period, around 130,000 to 10,000 years ago. It showcases an artwork depicting a group of Homo Erectus humans gathered around a crackling fire at what is now Lake Turkana in Kenya. Silhouetted against the glowing embers and smoking flames, this young tribe stands on the historical shores of the lake. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of early human settlement as men, women, and children come together as a family unit. The scene portrays their morning routine by the water's edge - foraging for food and engaging in various activities that were crucial for survival during those prehistoric times. As dawn breaks over Lake Turkana, we witness these African ancestors embracing their biological instincts while creating warmth and protection through fire. This image serves as a reminder of our shared history with extinct humans like Homo Erectus and offers insight into their way of life. Through this remarkable piece of artistry, Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate our ancient origins and reflect upon how far humanity has come since those distant days on the Kenyan shores.
