Hominid skulls, 3D computer images
Hominid skulls. 3D computer images of Homo habilis (left) and Homo ergaster. These images were created using data from high resolution computed tomography (CT) scans of fossilised hominid skulls. H. habilis lived approximately 2.5 million to 1.6 million years ago. H. ergaster lived approximately 1.9 to 1.4 million years ago

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable 3D computer images of two significant hominid skulls: Homo habilis and Homo ergaster. The intricate details of these ancient specimens were meticulously reconstructed using high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scans of fossilized hominid skulls. On the left, we have Homo habilis, a species that thrived on Earth approximately 2.5 to 1.6 million years ago. This early human ancestor played a crucial role in our evolutionary history, representing one of the earliest known members of the Homo genus. Next to it stands Homo ergaster, who inhabited our planet around 1.9 to 1.4 million years ago. This species holds great significance as it is believed to be one of our direct ancestors and displayed advancements in tool-making abilities and physical characteristics compared to its predecessors. The combination of cutting-edge technology and scientific expertise has allowed us to delve into the past with unprecedented clarity, revealing intricate features such as cranial structure and facial morphology. By studying these extraordinary reconstructions, we gain invaluable insights into our own origins as well as the diversity within early humans' evolutionary path. These images serve as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our prehistoric roots through biological anthropology and CT scanning techniques. This awe-inspiring print from Science Photo Library serves not only as a visual feast for enthusiasts but also ignites curiosity about our shared heritage among people from all walks of life
