Modern human
Modern human. Model of an early human (Homo sapiens) or Cro-Magnon man. Cro-Magnon is the earliest European example of Homo sapiens. Cro Magnons lived between about 40, 000 and 10, 000 years ago, in the Upper Paleolithic. They were anatomically similar to modern humans, although slightly more robust with a larger cranial capacity. They used flint tools, and also made paintings, sculptures and carvings

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable model of an early human, specifically a modern human or Cro-Magnon man. As the earliest European example of Homo sapiens, Cro Magnons thrived between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago during the Upper Paleolithic period. Anatomically similar to present-day humans, they possessed slightly more robust features and boasted a larger cranial capacity. The intricate replica in this image beautifully captures the essence of these ancient beings. With flint tools as their primary instruments, Cro-Magnon individuals not only mastered survival but also expressed their creativity through paintings, sculptures, and carvings. This testament to their artistic prowess further highlights their advanced cognitive abilities. Through the lens of biology, anthropology, paleontology, and anatomy comes this stunning reconstruction that sheds light on our prehistoric ancestors' existence. The detailed craftsmanship brings forth an anatomical accuracy that enables us to delve into the world of palaeoanthropology and explore human evolution. Gazing at this single portrait transports us back in time as we marvel at the resilience and ingenuity displayed by our distant relatives. Their broad shoulders symbolize strength while embodying our shared lineage with hominids throughout history. Science Photo Library has once again captured a pivotal moment in evolutionary biology with this extraordinary depiction of a modern human's past – reminding us all how far we have come on our journey as Homo sapiens sapiens.
