Human evolutionary taxonomy
Human evolutionary taxonomy. Diagram of the evolution of hominin species (dots) over the past seven million years. Bottom: the Ardipithecus group: Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Orrorin tugenensis, Ardipithecus ramidus. Centre: Australopithecus group: A. anamensis, A. platyops, A. afarensis, A. bahrelgazhali, A. garhi, A. africanus. Upper right: Paranthropus group: P. aethiopicus, P. boisei, and P. robustus. Upper left: Homo group: H. habilis, H. georgicus, H. ergaster, H. erectus, H. antecessor, H. heidelbergensis, H. nenderthalensis, H. rhodesiensis, H. sapiens (modern humans, top left). All are now extinct except modern humans

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate diagram of human evolutionary taxonomy, illustrating the evolution of hominin species over a span of seven million years. The image is divided into four distinct groups, each representing a different stage in our ancestral lineage. At the bottom, we find the Ardipithecus group, consisting of Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Orrorin tugenensis, and Ardipithecus ramidus. Moving upwards to the center, we encounter the Australopithecus group with its diverse members: A. anamensis, A. platyops, A. afarensis, A. bahrelgazhali, A. garhi and A. africanus. To the upper right lies the Paranthropus group featuring P. aethiopicus, P. boisei, and P. robusuts while on the upper left stands Homo group including H. habilis, H. georgicus, H. erectus, H. antecessor, H. heidelbergensis, H. nenderthalensis and H. rhodesiensis. The top left corner represents modern humans (Homo sapiens), who are depicted as still existing today while all other species have become extinct throughout history. This historical artwork not only provides us with valuable insights into our biological past but also serves as a testament to our shared ancestry with these ancient beings. With its meticulous detail and scientific accuracy, this photograph print from Science Photo Library offers viewers an opportunity to delve into paleontology and anthropology by visually exploring humanity's remarkable journey through time.
