Homo heidelbergensis tooth C015 / 6534
Homo heidelbergensis tooth. This incisor tooth is worn down with age and the effect of diet. This fossil specimen is from the Sima de los Huesos site, Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, containing the earliest human remains found in Europe. Homo heidelbergensis (Heidelberg Man) is a extinct hominin species from the same genus as modern humans. Like other early humans, they had complex social structures and lived in family groups. They lived around 600, 000 to 400, 000 years ago

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Homo heidelbergensis tooth C015 / 6534. With its worn-down appearance, this incisor tooth tells a story of age and the impact of diet on our ancient ancestors. Discovered at the Sima de los Huesos site in Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain, this fossil specimen is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site that holds Europe's earliest human remains. Belonging to an extinct hominin species from the same genus as modern humans, Homo heidelbergensis (Heidelberg Man) provides valuable insights into our evolutionary journey. Like other early humans, they exhibited complex social structures and lived in family groups. This particular tooth dates back approximately 600,000 to 400,000 years ago during the Stone Age. The expertly captured image against a black background highlights every detail of this eroded dental relic. The studio shot allows us to appreciate its significance within paleontology and palaeoanthropology studies. As we gaze upon this single fossilized tooth cut out from its historical context, we are transported back in time to witness humanity's prehistoric origins. Javier Trueba/MSF/Science Photo Library has masterfully immortalized this important artifact through their lens. Their skillful composition invites us to ponder not only the effects of diet on our ancestors but also the vastness of human evolution itself.
