EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Michael Wilson depicts a reconstructed family of Homo heidelbergensis, also known as Rhodesian Man, based on fossils discovered at Broken Hill in Kabwe, Zambia. Homo heidelbergensis is a key transitional species in human evolution, believed to have lived approximately 130,000 years ago. The discovery of the Broken Hill hominid remains in 1921 was a significant find in anthropological history, providing valuable insights into the physical characteristics of our early human ancestors. Michael Wilson's illustration masterfully portrays a family unit of Homo heidelbergensis, offering a glimpse into their social structure and daily life. The figures are shown in various poses, suggesting interaction and communication. The intricate details in the illustration, from the textured skin to the expressive faces, bring the ancient beings to life, allowing us to connect with them on a deeper level. The discovery of the Broken Hill hominids and the subsequent study of Homo heidelbergensis has significantly expanded our understanding of human evolution, particularly in relation to the migration of early humans out of Africa and the emergence of Homo sapiens. This illustration serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with our ancient ancestors and the ongoing quest to uncover the mysteries of human history. Michael Wilson's illustration, created between 1914 and 1987, is a valuable addition to the anthropological record, offering a unique perspective on our early human ancestors and their way of life. The illustration is a reminder of the rich history that lies hidden in the earth, waiting to be uncovered and explored.
