EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Homo habilis fossil bed C013/6546, providing a vivid glimpse into the ancient past. Located at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, this reconstructed living floor offers valuable insights into the life of Homo habilis, an early human species that inhabited East Africa approximately 2 to 1.6 million years ago. With a brain size just under half that of modern humans, Homo habilis earned its name meaning "handy man" due to its adeptness in using primitive stone tools. This archaeological site preserves and displays fossilized remains of these early humans, shedding light on their existence during the Lower Paleolithic era. The meticulous reconstruction depicted in this image allows us to envision how our ancestors once lived and interacted within their environment. The Natural History Museum in London has expertly preserved and presented this significant anthropological find for scientific study and public appreciation. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our ancient predecessors. It serves as a reminder of our shared history with these early humans who paved the way for future civilizations through their tool-making abilities. This print from Science Photo Library is not only visually striking but also serves as a testament to humanity's continuous quest for knowledge about our origins.
