Australopithecus africanus pelvis, STS-14 C015 / 6919
Australopithecus africanus pelvis (STS-14). This fossil specimen was discovered in 1947, in Sterkfontein, South Africa. The entire specimen consists of the pelvis, part of the vertebral column, and a femur (lower right). It also includes fragments of a rib (not shown). These fossils are thought to be around 2.5 million years old. Studies of this specimen has shown that this species walked upright. A. africanus is one of several extinct species forming an early part of the human evolutionary tree

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Australopithecus africanus pelvis, STS-14 C015 / 6919. Discovered in 1947 in Sterkfontein, South Africa, this fossil specimen is a remarkable find from our ancient past. The photograph captures the essence of this historical artifact against a striking black background. Comprising the pelvis, part of the vertebral column, and a femur (visible on the lower right), this fossil also includes fragments of a rib (not shown). Dating back approximately 2.5 million years, these fossils provide valuable insights into our early human ancestors. Extensive studies conducted on this specimen have revealed that A. africanus was capable of walking upright—a crucial development in human evolution. This species is just one among several extinct hominids that form an integral part of our evolutionary tree. Displayed as a single object within a museum setting, this still life image highlights both the beauty and scientific significance of these ancient bones. It serves as a testament to our shared history and offers glimpses into life during the Pleistocene era. With its focus on paleontology, anthropology, and biology, this photograph invites viewers to delve into humanity's prehistoric origins. Through its composition and expert lighting techniques employed by photographer Javier Trueba/MSF/Science Photo Library, it brings forth an appreciation for the wonders found within Earth's geological timeline.
