EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of human history - the Neanderthal cranium known as Gibraltar 1. With its oblique view, this cast of the fossilized adult female Neanderthal skull provides us with a glimpse into our ancestral past. Discovered at Forbes Quarry in Gibraltar and announced by Lieutenant Flint in 1848, this incredible specimen is estimated to be around 50,000 years old. Against a pristine white background, the European skull stands out prominently, offering an intriguing insight into the life of Homo neanderthalensis. This historical artifact takes us back to the Stone Age when these ancient beings roamed Europe. Displayed in a studio shot at the Natural History Museum in London, this photograph captures not only the biological significance but also highlights its importance within anthropology and paleontology. The intricate details preserved within this fossilized cranium shed light on human evolution and provide valuable insights into our early ancestors. With its cut-out presentation and three-quarter view perspective, every bone tells a story of our prehistoric past. As we marvel at this extraordinary relic from another time, it serves as a powerful reminder of how far humanity has come on its evolutionary journey.
