Homo heidelbergensis hunting, artwork C013 / 9572
Homo heidelbergensis hunting. Artwork of two Homo heidelbergensis early humans hunting bison by a river in what is now the Atapuerca Mountains, Spain. H. heidelbergensis used stone weapons and hunted in groups allowing it to kill large prey. It is an extinct species that forms a relatively recent part of the human evolutionary tree and may have been an ancestor of both Neanderthals and modern humans

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Homo heidelbergensis hunting" takes us back in time to witness a crucial moment in human evolution. In this illustration by Raul Martin, we are transported to the Atapuerca Mountains in Spain, where two Homo heidelbergensis early humans are engaged in a hunt. The scene unfolds near a serene river, as these skilled hunters strategize their approach towards a herd of bison. Armed with stone weapons and working together as a group, Homo heidelbergensis demonstrates its ability to take down large prey. This extinct species played an important role in our evolutionary history and may have served as an ancestor to both Neanderthals and modern humans. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of the brush brings life to this historical moment. The lush landscape surrounding the duo adds depth and context to their existence. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can't help but marvel at the biological adaptations that allowed our ancestors to thrive. Raul Martin's masterpiece not only captures the essence of prehistoric hunting but also serves as a reminder of our shared ancestry with these ancient hominids. It invites us into the world of paleontology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology – disciplines that unravel the mysteries behind our own existence. As we contemplate this image from Science Photo Library's collection, let us appreciate how far humanity has come while acknowledging those who came before us – Homo heidelbergensis: pioneers on an extraordinary journey through time.
