Sahelanthropus tchadensis skull
Sahelanthropus tchadensis skull. Artwork of a reconstruction of the Toumai skull, one of only a small number of fossils of the hominin Sahelanthropus tchadensis. This extinct species existed around 7 million years ago. It may form part of the earliest branches of the human evolutionary tree, but may date from before the divergence that led to chimpanzees and humans. The Toumai fossil was discovered in Chad in 2001

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases a reconstruction of the Toumai skull, belonging to Sahelanthropus tchadensis, an extinct hominin species that roamed the Earth approximately 7 million years ago. With its historical significance and rarity, this particular fossil offers valuable insights into our early human ancestors. The Toumai skull is believed to potentially represent one of the earliest branches in our evolutionary tree, predating the divergence between chimpanzees and humans. Discovered in Chad back in 2001, this remarkable find has fascinated anthropologists and paleontologists alike. Intricately illustrated with meticulous attention to detail, this print captures the essence of Sahelanthropus tchadensis' cranium. Every contour and ridge tells a story about our ancient past and sheds light on how we came to be as a species. As we gaze upon this piece of artistry, we are reminded of the wonders hidden within our planet's history. The single bone depicted here symbolizes not only an individual organism but also represents an entire era long gone by – prehistoric times when life was vastly different from what we know today. Let us marvel at this biological relic that connects us with our distant ancestors while fueling curiosity about human evolution. This image serves as a testament to the tireless efforts of scientists who unravel these mysteries buried deep within Earth's layers—a true celebration of anthropology, biology, and paleontology intertwined harmoniously through time.
