This print showcases the remarkable Homo habilis upper jaw (OH 65) C015 / 6686, a significant 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 human ancestry. Against a striking black background, the image highlights the intricate details of the maxilla and teeth of this extinct hominin species from East Africa. The studio shot captures every delicate feature with precision and clarity, allowing us to marvel at the craftsmanship of evolution. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to an era when Homo habilis roamed the African continent between two and 1.6 million years ago. This stone-age ancestor shares its genus with modern humans, making it a crucial link in our evolutionary timeline. The photograph's composition emphasizes both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty as it portrays an essential piece of paleontological history frozen in time. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our origins. With its cut-out presentation against a dark backdrop, this still life image invites us to contemplate not only our past but also our future as we continue unraveling the mysteries surrounding human evolution.
