Neanderthal tooth C015 / 6643
Neanderthal tooth. 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). This fossil specimen is from the Pinilla del Valle site, near Madrid, Spain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Neanderthal tooth, known as C015 / 6643. Neanderthals, our ancient human relatives, once roamed the lands of Europe and western Asia approximately between 230,000 and 29,000 years ago. Despite their lack of complex tools, they possessed an impressive mastery of fire and constructed shelters for survival. Believed to have had language skills and a sophisticated social structure, these early humans lived in small family groups and relied on hunting for sustenance. The mystery surrounding their extinction remains unsolved; however, one prevailing theory suggests that they were outcompeted by modern humans (Homo sapiens). Discovered at the Pinilla del Valle site near Madrid in Spain, this fossil specimen offers us a glimpse into the enigmatic world of our ancestors. Against a black background in a studio setting, the tooth stands as an emblematic symbol of our shared history. With its historical significance and ties to paleontology and human evolution studies, this single tooth serves as a testament to the rich tapestry of life during the Pleistocene era. Its presence reminds us of the intricate web connecting past civilizations with our present understanding of ourselves. Captured by JAVIER TRUEBA/MSF/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY from Science Photo Library – renowned for its scientific imagery – this photograph invites contemplation on prehistoric times while honoring the legacy left behind by these extraordinary beings.
