Fine Art Prints From Science Photo Library
Miguelon reconstruction
Miguelon reconstruction. Artwork of a reconstruction (right) based on a Homo heidelbergensis fossil skull (left). This reconstruction is based on Cranium 5, excavated in 1992 from the Sima de los Huesos pit in the Atapuerca mountains of Spain. This fossil dates from around 400, 000 years ago. Dubbed Miguelon, this individual had a severe bone infection caused by broken teeth, causing major deformation of his face. Homo heidelbergensis is an extinct species that forms a relatively recent part of the human evolutionary tree. It may have been an ancestor of both Neanderthals and modern humans. There is debate over whether the fossils should be attributed to H. heidelbergensis or H. neanderthalensis, as some anatomical features are transitional between the two species

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Miguelon reconstruction, a remarkable artwork that brings to life the face of an ancient Homo heidelbergensis. The left side of the image displays the actual fossil skull, known as Cranium 5, which was unearthed in 1992 from Spain's Sima de los Huesos pit in the Atapuerca mountains. Dating back approximately 400,000 years ago, this individual named Miguelon suffered from a severe bone infection caused by broken teeth, resulting in significant facial deformity. Homo heidelbergensis is an extinct species that holds great significance in our understanding of human evolution. It is believed to be a possible ancestor to both Neanderthals and modern humans. However, there remains ongoing debate among experts regarding whether these fossils should be attributed to H. heidelbergensis or H. neanderthalensis due to certain transitional anatomical features. The artist behind this reconstruction has skillfully depicted Miguelon's appearance on the right side of the image using scientific knowledge and artistic interpretation. This thought-provoking illustration offers us a glimpse into our distant past and serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of unraveling our evolutionary history. With its historical context and attention-grabbing subject matter, this print invites viewers into the world of paleontology and anthropology while highlighting one individual's unique story within our shared biological heritage.
