Skulls of A. africanus and a chimpanzee
Skulls of Australopithecus africanus and a chimpanzee. A. africanus (right) was a bipedal ape living in Africa 3-2 million years ago. The skull is similar to that of the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes, left), although A. africanus had more human-like teeth and a slightly larger brain capacity. This A. africanus specimen, called Stw 505, was found at the Sterkfontain cave site in South Africa and is estimated to be approximately 2.7 million years old

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the skulls of two fascinating creatures - Australopithecus africanus and a chimpanzee. On the right, we have the skull of A. africanus, an ancient bipedal ape that roamed Africa approximately 3-2 million years ago. Its cranium bears a striking resemblance to that of its counterpart on the left, belonging to a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). However, there are notable differences between them. A. africanus possessed teeth more similar to humans and boasted a slightly larger brain capacity than its chimp companion. This particular specimen, known as Stw 505, was discovered at South Africa's Sterkfontain cave site and is estimated to be around 2.7 million years old - an invaluable relic from our distant past. The image invites us into the world of anthropology and paleontology as it allows us to compare these fossilized remains side by side. It serves as a reminder of our shared ancestry with primates while highlighting the unique characteristics that distinguish us from them. Through this powerful duo of skulls frozen in time, we gain insight into the evolution and development of hominids in Africa millions of years ago. The photograph captures not only bones but also sparks curiosity about our own origins and place in nature's grand tapestry.
