Modern human and Homo floresiensis
Modern human and Homo floriensis. Illustration comparing a modern human female (Homo sapiens sapiens) with a female Homo floriensis. The remains of this hominid were found in 2003 at the Liang Bua Cave on the island of Flores, Indonesia. The remains included a skull of a 30-year-old female named Little Lady of Flo. Her height was around 3 feet. H. floriensis had a small brain but evidence suggests that it used fire and tools and hunted in groups

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating comparison between a modern human female, Homo sapiens sapiens, and a female Homo floresiensis. The illustration beautifully captures the contrast between these two distinct species of hominids. Discovered in 2003 at the Liang Bua Cave on Flores Island in Indonesia, the remains of Homo floresiensis shed light on an ancient lineage that coexisted with our ancestors. Known as "Little Lady of Flo" this particular individual was approximately 30 years old and stood at a mere height of three feet. Despite their small stature and brain size, evidence suggests that H. floresiensis exhibited remarkable intelligence by utilizing fire, tools, and even hunting in groups. The artwork not only highlights the anatomical differences between these two species but also serves as a reminder of our shared evolutionary history. It sparks curiosity about how early humans adapted to diverse environments and challenges throughout time. Through this image, we are transported back to prehistoric times when various hominid species roamed the Earth alongside one another. It invites us to contemplate our place within the grand tapestry of human evolution while appreciating the scientific advancements that have allowed us to uncover such extraordinary insights into our past.
