Neanderthal couple, artwork C016 / 5791
Neanderthal couple, artwork. Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) inhabited Europe and western Asia between 230, 000 and 29, 000 years ago. They did not use complex tools but had mastery of fire and built shelters. It is thought that they had language and a complex social structure, living in small family groups and hunting for food. It is not known why Neanderthals became extinct, but one theory is that they were outcompeted by modern humans (Homo sapiens)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Neanderthal couple, artwork C016 / 5791" takes us back in time to the era when Neanderthals roamed Europe and western Asia. The image showcases a chest-up view of a male and female Neanderthal, both depicted with remarkable detail against a striking black background. The Neanderthals, Homo neanderthalensis, were an ancient human species that existed between 230,000 and 29,000 years ago. While they did not possess complex tools like their modern human counterparts (Homo sapiens), they exhibited advanced skills such as fire mastery and shelter construction. It is believed that they had language abilities and lived in small family groups with intricate social structures. Unfortunately, the exact reason for the extinction of Neanderthals remains unknown. However, one theory suggests that competition with Homo sapiens played a significant role in their demise. This thought-provoking artwork sheds light on our ancestors' lives during the Stone Age or Paleolithic period. It highlights aspects such as historical relationships, reproduction dynamics within these early humans' societies, and even hints at their physical appearance through detailed illustrations of pectoral muscles and nudity. Created by JOSE ANTONIO PEÑAS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY - this piece serves as a fascinating reminder of our shared biological history while igniting curiosity about the mysteries surrounding human evolution.
