Australopithecus afarensis landscape
Australopithecus afarensis landscape. Artwork of Australopithecus afarensis male and female hominins (left) walking across African savannah during the Pliocene. A. afarensis is one of several extinct hominin species that form an early part of the human evolutionary tree. It lived between 3.9 and 2.9 million years ago. The A. afarensis fossil Lucy (1974) was found at the Hadar site in Ethiopias Afar depression. The animals are elephants, antelopes, and a rhinoceros. For a similar scene, see C015/5357

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Australopithecus afarensis landscape during the Pliocene era. The artwork depicts a male and female hominin, representing one of several extinct hominin species that played a crucial role in human evolution. Walking across the African savannah, these early ancestors navigate their way through a diverse ecosystem teeming with life. The scene is set against the backdrop of an expansive plain adorned with lush grasslands and scattered trees. Sharing this ancient habitat are magnificent elephants, graceful antelopes, and even a formidable rhinoceros. These animals provide insight into the rich fauna that once thrived alongside our distant relatives. Notably, A. afarensis lived between 3.9 and 2.9 million years ago, making it an essential part of our evolutionary tree. The discovery of Lucy (1974), an A. afarensis fossil found at Ethiopia's Hadar site in Afar depression, has been instrumental in shaping our understanding of human origins. Through this mesmerizing illustration, we catch a glimpse into prehistoric Africa—a world where hominids stood upright for the first time and embarked on their remarkable journey towards becoming modern humans. This artwork serves as a testament to both anthropology and paleontology—disciplines that continue to unravel humanity's complex past by studying fossils like those belonging to Australopithecus afarensis.
