Male and female Homo habilis
Male and female Homo habilis, artists impression. H. habilis was an ancestor of modern humans that lived between around 2.1 and 1.6 million years ago. " Habilis" means " handy", and refers to the supposed tool-making abilities of these hominids. Their brains were small though, with a cranium volume of around 700 cubic centimetres (compared to around 1350cc for modern humans)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's impression of male and female Homo habilis, providing a glimpse into our ancient ancestors who lived between 2.1 and 1.6 million years ago. The term "Habilis" derives from their presumed tool-making abilities, highlighting their resourcefulness in the prehistoric era. Despite their remarkable adaptability, these hominids possessed relatively small brains, with a cranium volume measuring around 700 cubic centimeters—significantly less than modern humans' average of approximately 1350cc. This disparity underscores the evolutionary journey that has led to our current cognitive capabilities. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of this male-female duo, offering insights into their physical characteristics and anatomical features. As we delve into biology, anthropology, and paleontology through this image, we gain a deeper understanding of our own lineage. Within the frame lies a testament to human evolution during the Pleistocene epoch—a time when early humans roamed the Earth alongside other fascinating species. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come as a species while honoring those who paved the way for us. Whether you are fascinated by paleoanthropology or simply intrigued by our shared history with these hominids, this artwork is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about our origins.
