Neanderthals hunting mammoth, artwork C013 / 9579
Neanderthals hunting mammoth. Artwork of neanderthal (Homo neanderthalensis) humans hunting woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius). Like modern humans, Neanderthals are members of the Homo genus. They 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Neanderthals hunting mammoth" takes us back in time to the prehistoric era, offering a glimpse into the lives of our ancient ancestors. Created by Raul Martin, this monochrome print showcases Neanderthal humans engaging in an intense hunt for a woolly mammoth. The Neanderthals, belonging to the Homo genus just like modern humans, inhabited Europe and western Asia between 230,000 and 29,000 years ago. While they did not possess complex tools like their successors, they exhibited remarkable skills such as mastery of fire and building shelters. It is believed that they had language and lived in small family groups with a complex social structure. In this illustration, we witness two European male hunters armed with spears approaching their formidable prey - the majestic woolly mammoth. The attention to detail brings these ancient beings to life as they strategize their attack on this massive mammal. This artwork serves as a reminder of our shared ancestry with these early hominids and offers insight into our evolutionary journey. As we marvel at this scene from prehistory captured by Raul Martin's skilled hand, it sparks curiosity about how far we have come as a species while honoring those who came before us – the resilient Neanderthals who once roamed these lands alongside magnificent creatures like the woolly mammoth.
