EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Homo heidelbergensis tooth C015 / 6537, a remarkable fossil specimen discovered at the Sima de los Huesos site in Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain. This UNESCO World Heritage Site holds immense significance as it houses some of the earliest human remains ever found in Europe. Belonging to an extinct hominin species from the same genus as modern humans, Homo heidelbergensis (Heidelberg Man) provides valuable insights into our ancient past. With complex social structures and a preference for living in family groups, these early humans thrived between 600,000 to 400,000 years ago. Against a striking black background, this studio-shot image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this historical tooth specimen. Its presence evokes thoughts of Stone Age civilizations and takes us back to a time when our ancestors roamed these lands. As we delve into paleontology and explore the Pleistocene era through this single dental relic, we are reminded of the rich history that lies within Spain's borders. The cut-out presentation emphasizes its importance while inviting us to ponder on human evolution and our shared origins with Homo heidelbergensis. Javier Trueba masterfully captures this still life photograph which serves as a testament to both scientific discovery and artistic expression. Through his lens, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in prehistoric wonders that continue to shape our understanding of humanity's journey throughout millennia.
