Human evolution
Human evolution. Computer artwork of four stages in human evolution. Comparisons of DNA and fossil records suggest that humans and modern African apes evolved from a common ape-like ancestor (left). The ancestors of humans diverged from the ancestors of todays African apes, which include gorillas and chimpanzees, between 5 to 8 million years ago. Australopithecus anamensis (pink) was a bipedal hominid that lived 4.2 to 3.9 million years ago. Homo erectus (mauve) lived 1.8 to 0.3 million years ago and had a skeleton very similar to modern humans, although it was thicker and heavier. The modern human (Homo sapiens) is at right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating journey of human evolution. Through computer artwork, four distinct stages are depicted, shedding light on our ancestral origins and the remarkable transformations that have occurred over millions of years. On the left side of the image, we see a common ape-like ancestor shared by humans and modern African apes. Comparisons between DNA and fossil records strongly suggest this connection. It is here that our story begins, as our ancestors diverged from those of today's African apes around 5 to 8 million years ago. Moving towards the center, we encounter Australopithecus anamensis in a striking pink hue. This bipedal hominid walked the Earth approximately 4.2 to 3.9 million years ago, marking an important milestone in our evolutionary path. Homo erectus takes center stage with its mauve-colored depiction. Living between 1.8 to 0.3 million years ago, Homo erectus possessed a skeleton remarkably similar to modern humans but was notably thicker and heavier. Finally, at the rightmost end of this mesmerizing illustration stands Homo sapiens – us! The pinnacle of human evolution is represented by a modern human figure who embodies all that we are today. This thought-provoking artwork not only highlights key milestones in our evolutionary history but also emphasizes how interconnected we are with other species on this planet through shared ancestry and genetic heritage.
