Neanderthals. Computer artwork of a Homo neanderthalensis man and woman standing in a prehistoric landscape. Like modern humans (Homo sapiens), Neanderthals are members of the Homo genus.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library takes us back in time to the era of Neanderthals. The computer artwork depicts a Homo neanderthalensis man and woman standing proudly in a prehistoric landscape. These ancient beings, like our modern human ancestors, belonged to the Homo genus and thrived in Europe and western Asia for thousands of years between 230,000 and 29,000 years ago. The image showcases the remarkable attention to detail as it portrays the couple holding hands amidst a grassy terrain. The male Neanderthal is armed with a weapon, highlighting their resourcefulness and survival skills during this stone age period. This artistic representation offers an intriguing glimpse into their daily lives. Despite their impressive adaptability, Neanderthals eventually faced extinction. While scientists are still uncertain about the exact reasons behind their demise, one theory suggests that they were outcompeted by our own species - modern humans. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking illustration, we are reminded of our shared history with these early hominids. It serves as a testament to humanity's continuous quest for knowledge about our origins and evolution. This print captures not only an anthropological curiosity but also sparks our imagination about life during prehistoric times.
