Homo heidelbergensis tooth C015 / 6543
Homo heidelbergensis tooth. 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 the tooth of a Homo heidelbergensis, an extinct hominin species closely related to modern humans. The fossil specimen, labeled C015 / 6543, was discovered at the Sima de los Huesos site in Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain. This UNESCO World Heritage Site holds great significance as it contains some of the earliest human remains found in Europe. The image portrays the tooth against a striking black background, emphasizing its historical and archaeological importance. Through this single still life shot taken in a studio setting, we are transported back to the Stone Age when Homo heidelbergensis roamed the earth between 600,000 and 400,000 years ago. Delving into paleontology and palaeoanthropology, this photograph offers us a detailed glimpse into our ancient past. It serves as a reminder of how complex social structures existed even among early humans who lived in family groups. With its focus on European history and prehistory, this image sheds light on human evolution during the Pleistocene era. It highlights Spain's role as an important hub for paleolithic discoveries and contributes to our understanding of Homo heidelbergensis' place within our evolutionary lineage. Javier Trueba skillfully captures both scientific precision and artistic beauty through his lens. This print from Science Photo Library is not only visually stunning but also carries immense educational value for those fascinated by our shared origins.
