EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Homo ergaster skull (KNM-ER 3733) C015 / 6927, a remarkable fossil specimen dating back approximately 1.8 million years ago. Discovered in 1975 in Koobi Fora, Kenya, on the eastern shore of Lake Turkana, this well-preserved skull belonged to a mature female individual. H. ergaster is an extinct hominin species from the same genus as modern humans. Against a black background, this image highlights intricate details such as the teeth and profile of the skull. Its historical significance lies within its African origins and its connection to our evolutionary past during the Stone Age. As a studio shot taken with precision and expertise, it allows us to delve into anthropology and paleontology by examining this extinct species. The lateral view reveals ridges along the cranium while showcasing Africa's rich history through a single museum artifact. This bone fossil serves as a still life representation of our ancient ancestors' side view cut out against time itself. With mentions of terms like pleistocene, palaeolithic, zygomatic arches, and lake turkana among others; this photograph encapsulates not only human evolution but also offers insights into prehistoric times through palaeoanthropology studies. Photographed by JAVIER TRUEBA/MSF/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY for non-commercial use purposes only; it reminds us of how far we have come as a species while igniting curiosity about our shared past with these fascinating hominids that once roamed Kenya's landscapes millions of years ago.
