EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating comparison between the skulls of two ancient human species - Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal. The image, taken at the Natural History Museum in London, UK, presents a rear view of casts of these skulls on a striking black background. On the right side stands the cast of a Cro-Magnon skull from Brno, Czech Republic, dating back to the Upper Palaeolithic era. Its intricate features reveal an early form of Homo sapiens, our own species. In contrast, on the left side looms the cast of a Neanderthal skull from La Chpelle in France, belonging to Homo neanderthalensis during the Middle Palaeolithic period. The photograph invites us to delve into paleontological exploration as we observe these anatomical wonders up close. It highlights their distinct characteristics and allows for intriguing comparisons between these two closely related hominin species that once coexisted in Europe. As we gaze upon this duo with curiosity and awe, it is impossible not to ponder our shared ancestry with these ancient beings who walked this Earth thousands of years ago. This visual representation serves as a powerful reminder of our evolutionary journey and offers valuable insights into humanity's rich history. Through this remarkable image captured by Science Photo Library on behalf of the Natural History Museum in London, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how science unravels secrets hidden within fossilized bones – unlocking mysteries about our past and shedding light on what makes us uniquely human.
