EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cast of the Homo heidelbergensis lower jaw, known as C013/6550. Discovered in Mauer, near Heidelberg, Germany in 1907, this remarkable specimen provides valuable insights into our ancient past. Dating back approximately 500,000 years ago, this lower jaw belongs to an extinct hominid species that played a significant role in human evolution. The intricate details of the teeth and bone structure preserved within this cast offer a glimpse into the physical characteristics of our ancestor. As we examine this fossilized mandible through an anthropological lens, we uncover clues about early humans and their journey towards modernity. Anthropologists and paleontologists have long studied such remains to unravel the mysteries of our prehistoric origins. This particular cast serves as a testament to their tireless efforts in reconstructing humanity's evolutionary tree. Displayed by the Natural History Museum in London and made available through Science Photo Library for educational purposes only, this photograph invites us to contemplate our shared history with these ancient beings. It reminds us that every step forward on the path of human progress is built upon countless generations that came before us. As we gaze at this relic from another time, let it inspire curiosity and appreciation for how far we have come as a species while acknowledging those who paved the way for our existence today.
