Homo heidelbergensis teeth C015 / 6544
Homo heidelbergensis teeth. These incisor teeth are worn down with age and the effect of diet. This fossil specimen is from the Sima de los Huesos site, Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, containing the earliest human remains found in Europe. Homo heidelbergensis (Heidelberg Man) is a extinct hominin species from the same genus as modern humans. Like other early humans, they had complex social structures and lived in family groups. They lived around 600, 000 to 400, 000 years ago

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the worn-down incisor teeth of Homo heidelbergensis, an extinct hominin species closely related to modern humans. The image captures the intricate details of these historical teeth, which have eroded over time due to age and diet. The fossil specimen originates from the Sima de los Huesos site in Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain - a UNESCO World Heritage Site that holds Europe's earliest human remains. Dating back approximately 600,000 to 400,000 years ago during the Stone Age, Homo heidelbergensis inhabited complex social structures and lived in family groups similar to other early humans. This photograph offers a glimpse into their prehistoric existence by highlighting one aspect of their physical anatomy. The black background enhances the visual impact of this studio shot, allowing viewers to focus solely on the fascinating dental structure. It serves as a reminder of our shared evolutionary history with these ancient beings and sparks curiosity about how they navigated their environment and adapted through time. Javier Trueba expertly captures this still life image with meticulous attention to detail. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness a piece of paleontological treasure that sheds light on human evolution and our ancestral past.
