Homo rudolfensis skull (KNM-ER 1470) C015 / 6930
Homo rudolfensis skull (KNM-ER 1470). This fossil specimen dates from around 1.9 million years ago, and was discovered in 1972 in Koobi Fora, on the eastern shore of Lake Turkana, Kenya. Reconstructed from more than 150 fragments, H. rudolfensis is an extinct hominin species from the same genus as modern humans. It is thought that it co-existed in the Turkana region with three other species: Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Paranthropus boisei

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Homo rudolfensis skull (KNM-ER 1470), a remarkable fossil specimen that provides invaluable insights into our ancient human ancestors. Dating back approximately 1.9 million years, this well-preserved skull was discovered in 1972 at Koobi Fora, located on the eastern shore of Lake Turkana in Kenya. Reconstructed meticulously from over 150 fragments, this extinct hominin species belonged to the same genus as modern humans. It is believed that Homo rudolfensis co-existed with three other species – Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Paranthropus boisei – within the Turkana region during its time. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details of this historical artifact against a striking black background. The teeth are clearly visible, offering clues about diet and evolution. With an oblique angle highlighting its unique features, including eye sockets and frontal structure, it serves as a window into our evolutionary past. Displayed in a museum setting or used for scientific research purposes, this image represents an important contribution to anthropology and paleontology. Its significance lies not only in shedding light on human evolution but also in emphasizing Africa's rich history as the birthplace of humanity. Javier Trueba skillfully captured this still life photograph with great attention to detail and composition. Through his lens, we are transported back millions of years to witness one piece of our complex ancestral puzzle - Homo rudolfensis - frozen forever in time.
