Homo heidelbergensis lower jaw C015 / 6559
Homo heidelbergensis lower jaw (mandible) and teeth. This fossil specimen is from the Sima de los Huesos site, Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, containing the earliest human remains found in Europe. Homo heidelbergensis (Heidelberg Man) is a extinct hominin species from the same genus as modern humans. Like other early humans, they had complex social structures and lived in family groups. They lived around 600, 000 to 400, 000 years ago

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Homo heidelbergensis lower jaw C015/6559, a fossil specimen discovered at the Sima de los Huesos site in Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this location holds immense significance as it houses the earliest human remains found in Europe. Belonging to an extinct hominin species from the same genus as modern humans, Homo heidelbergensis (Heidelberg Man) provides valuable insights into our ancient past. The image captures the intricate details of this historical artifact against a striking black background. The teeth are prominently displayed, offering a glimpse into dental structure and evolution during the Stone Age. This studio shot allows for meticulous examination by paleontologists and researchers studying human evolution. Dating back approximately 600,000 to 400,000 years ago during the Pleistocene era, Homo heidelbergensis inhabited Europe with complex social structures and familial living arrangements akin to other early humans. The mandible serves as evidence of their existence and contributes to our understanding of prehistoric life. Javier Trueba skillfully presents this still life composition through his expert photography skills. With its cut-out presentation style emphasizing every detail of bone structure and tooth formation, this image is not only visually stunning but also scientifically significant within palaeoanthropological studies.
