Homo ergaster landscape
Homo ergaster landscape. Artwork of Homo ergaster male and female hominins (right) walking across African savannah during the Pleistocene. H. ergaster is one of several extinct hominin species that form part of the human evolutionary tree. It lived between 1.8 and 1.3 million years ago. Famous fossils of H. ergaster include Turkana Boy (1984), found in the Koobi Fora region, near Lake Turkana, Kenya. The animals are giraffes, an elephant, antelopes, zebra, and a hyena.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Homo ergaster landscape" takes us back in time to the Pleistocene era, offering a glimpse into the lives of our ancient ancestors. The artwork portrays a male and female Homo ergaster, walking gracefully across the vast African savannah. These hominins were part of the human evolutionary tree and lived approximately 1.8 to 1.3 million years ago. The scene is teeming with diverse wildlife, showcasing giraffes, an elephant, antelopes, zebras, and even a hyena. The presence of these animals adds depth and realism to this prehistoric landscape illustration. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Africa's rich fauna and flora as we see towering trees dotting the grassland beneath an expansive sky. This depiction transports us to a time when early humans coexisted with magnificent creatures that still roam our planet today. Notably, H. ergaster fossils like Turkana Boy have played a crucial role in understanding human evolution. Discovered near Lake Turkana in Kenya in 1984, these remains provide valuable insights into our ancestral past. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how far humanity has come on its evolutionary journey while honoring those who came before us. It serves as a testament to our shared history with other species and evokes curiosity about what lies beyond in our ongoing quest for knowledge about ourselves and the world around us.
