Model of a male Homo erectus man
Homo erectus man. Model of a male Homo erectus, an early type of human. Homo erectus, or erect man, lived between roughly 1.8-0.3 million years ago and originated in Africa. They were the first humans to leave Africa, reaching Asia and possibly southern Europe. H. erectus had prominent brow ridges and a projecting face, and some specimens had brain volumes of over a litre. They stood upright, being a bit shorter than modern humans, but more heavily-built. They were nomadic hunters and gatherers. This model, from an exhibition by Nordstar, was photographed at the Naturkundemuseum in Stuttgart, Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a meticulously crafted model of a male Homo erectus man, an early type of human that existed between approximately 1.8-0.3 million years ago. Originating in Africa, Homo erectus was the first known species to venture beyond the continent, reaching Asia and potentially southern Europe. The model accurately portrays distinctive features of this ancient human ancestor, including prominent brow ridges and a projecting face. Some specimens even boasted brain volumes exceeding one liter. Standing upright but slightly shorter than modern humans, Homo erectus individuals possessed robust builds. As nomadic hunters and gatherers, these resourceful beings roamed their environments in search of sustenance. This remarkable replica is part of an exhibition by Nordstar and was captured at the Naturkundemuseum in Stuttgart, Germany. Steeped in anthropology and paleontology, this image serves as a testament to our ongoing quest for knowledge about our evolutionary past. It offers valuable insights into the fascinating world of paleoanthropology while shedding light on the unique characteristics that defined Homo erectus as a distinct hominid species.
