Neanderthal woman, artwork
Neanderthal woman, artwork. The bones of of her right hip joint are shown here. 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)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork print showcases the skeletal remains of a Neanderthal woman, specifically highlighting her right hip joint. The Neanderthals, an ancient human species known as Homo neanderthalensis, once roamed Europe and western Asia between 230,000 and 29,000 years ago. Despite their lack of complex tools, these remarkable beings possessed the ability to control fire and construct shelters. Experts believe that Neanderthals had intricate social structures and language skills while living in small family groups and relying on hunting for sustenance. However, the mystery surrounding their extinction still puzzles scientists today. One prevailing theory suggests that they were outcompeted by our modern human ancestors, Homo sapiens. In this thought-provoking illustration set against a white background, we are transported back in time to witness the life of a female Neanderthal walking with purpose while carrying a bag. Her naked figure symbolizes the resilience and adaptability of our early ancestors during the Stone Age period. This artwork not only delves into our shared history but also serves as a reminder of how far humanity has come in terms of evolution. It sparks curiosity about our origins and encourages us to explore further into paleontology, anthropology, biology, and human evolution. This stunning print is brought to you by Science Photo Library – an invaluable resource for those seeking knowledge about prehistoric times without any commercial intent mentioned or implied.
