Models of Homo erectus men
Homo erectus men. Models of Homo erectus men, an early type of human, one of whom is examining his wounded knee. Homo erectus, or erect man, lived between roughly 1.8-0.3 million years ago and originated in Africa. They were the first humans to leave Africa, reaching Asia and possibly southern Europe. H. erectus had prominent brow ridges and a projecting face, and some specimens had brain volumes of over a litre. They stood upright, being a bit shorter than modern humans, but more heavily-built. These models, from a Nordstar exhibition, were photographed at the Naturkundemuseum in Stuttgart, Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases models of Homo erectus men, offering a glimpse into the early stages of human evolution. One figure in particular is engrossed in examining his wounded knee, providing us with an intimate insight into their daily lives and struggles. Homo erectus, or "erect man" inhabited the Earth between 1.8 to 0.3 million years ago and originated from Africa. They were pioneers as the first humans to venture beyond Africa's borders, reaching Asia and potentially southern Europe. With distinctive features such as prominent brow ridges and projecting faces, these ancient beings possessed brain volumes exceeding a liter in some cases. Despite being slightly shorter than modern humans, Homo erectus individuals had sturdier builds that allowed them to stand upright like us today. This remarkable display at Stuttgart's Naturkundemuseum captures their essence through meticulously crafted models. The Nordstar exhibition has masterfully recreated these fascinating hominids for all to admire and learn from. The photograph serves as a testament to our shared ancestry with these early humans who paved the way for future civilizations. Science enthusiasts passionate about anthropology, paleontology, or paleoanthropology will find this image particularly intriguing due to its rich historical context and scientific significance.
