EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Homo habilis upper jaw (OH 65) C015 / 6685, a fossil specimen discovered in 1995 at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. Dating back approximately 1.8 million years ago, this ancient relic provides invaluable insights into our evolutionary history. Against a striking black background, the image reveals intricate details of the maxilla and teeth of this extinct hominin species from the same genus as modern humans. Through paleontological analysis, scientists have determined that Homo habilis lived between 2 to 1.6 million years ago in East Africa. The photograph's studio setting accentuates every aspect of this historical African specimen with precision and clarity. Its composition offers a still life representation of an important piece of our stone-age past—a testament to human evolution. With its cut-out presentation, the image allows viewers to focus solely on the bone structure and dental features preserved within this fossilized upper jaw or maxilla. The significance of OH 65 lies not only in its contribution to palaeoanthropology but also in shedding light on prehistoric times and providing valuable evidence for understanding our ancestral heritage. JAVIER TRUEBA/MSF/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has skillfully captured this mesmerizing snapshot without any commercial intent—allowing us to appreciate both the scientific value and aesthetic beauty inherent within such a profound artifact from our distant past.
