Illustration of a 33 day old human embryo
Human embryo. Illustration of a human embryo after approximately 33 days. After around 33 days the embryo is not yet recognisably human and measures only around 5mm in length. The developing ears appear as pits (upper centre) and rudimentary eyes develop in the form of stalks. The nose and mouth will develop from the folds in the neck. Below the neck is the heart bulge; at this stage the immature heart already produces a form of heartbeat. Rounded buds form the beginnings of arms and legs and internal organs are growing. The back grows more rapidly than the front in the young embryo, giving it a C-shape and a conspicuous tail

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible journey of human life at its earliest stage. The illustration depicts a 33-day-old human embryo, still in its nascent form and measuring a mere 5mm in length. At this point, the embryo is far from being recognizably human, but it holds within it the potential for extraordinary growth and development. The artwork beautifully captures the intricate details of this early stage of embryonic development. The developing ears are depicted as small pits in the upper center, while rudimentary eyes take shape as delicate stalks. Remarkably, even at this early stage, we can witness the formation of facial features: the nose and mouth will eventually emerge from folds in the neck. Beneath these emerging features lies a prominent heart bulge that already produces an immature heartbeat—a testament to life's astonishing resilience. Rounded buds symbolize the beginnings of arms and legs, hinting at their future mobility and strength. Interestingly, as seen in this illustration, during these initial weeks of growth, the back develops more rapidly than the front. This leads to a distinctive C-shape with a conspicuous tail—an evolutionary remnant reminding us of our shared ancestry with other species. Through this remarkable artwork by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into nature's awe-inspiring process—the creation of life itself—reminding us all how truly miraculous our existence is from its very inception.
