Homo habilis hunting, artwork C013 / 9577
Homo habilis hunting. Artwork of Homo habilis early humans using tools to butcher their prey. H. habilis is thought to have lived approximately 2 to 1.6 million years ago in East Africa. It had a brain size just less than half that of modern humans. The name Homo habilis means handy man, adopted because the species used primitive stone tools

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable hunting skills of Homo habilis, an early human species that existed approximately 2 to 1.6 million years ago in East Africa. The artwork depicts a male Homo habilis using primitive stone tools to butcher its prey, highlighting their resourcefulness and adaptability. With a brain size just under half that of modern humans, Homo habilis earned its name "handy man" due to its mastery of basic tools. This image provides a glimpse into the evolutionary journey of our ancestors as they developed the ability to manipulate their environment for survival. The monochrome illustration captures the intensity and precision required during this ancient hunt. It serves as a reminder of our shared biological history with these extinct hominids and offers insights into their bipedal nature and anthropological significance. As we observe this duo engaged in butchery, we are reminded of the interconnectedness between biology, anthropology, paleontology, and primatology. Through scientific exploration and study, we continue to unravel the mysteries surrounding our own origins. This print not only celebrates the rich history of African wildlife but also pays homage to our prehistoric ancestors who paved the way for humanity's progress. It serves as a testament to mankind's innate curiosity about our past while inspiring us to explore further into our evolutionary roots.
