Primate skulls
Primate skulls. Coloured x-rays of the skulls of a gorilla (Gorilla gorilla, left), chimpanzee (Pan trogoldytes, centre) and human (Homo sapien, left). The gorilla skull is recoginsable by its pronounced brows and small cranial capacity. The chimpanzees cranium is larger but considerably smaller than that of the human.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the primate skulls of a gorilla, chimpanzee, and human. The distinct features of each skull provide fascinating insights into their evolutionary journey. On the left, we have the gorilla skull with its prominent brows and small cranial capacity. This unique characteristic sets it apart from its primate counterparts. In the center, we observe the chimpanzee skull which exhibits a larger cranium compared to that of a gorilla but still significantly smaller than that of a human. This disparity in size hints at the gradual progression in brain development throughout evolution. Finally, on the right side, we encounter the human skull - an embodiment of our own species' remarkable transformation over time. With its expanded cranium and intricate structure, this skull represents one of nature's most extraordinary achievements. The image not only highlights the differences among these three primates but also serves as a visual representation of evolution itself. It prompts us to contemplate how these creatures have adapted and changed through countless generations. Through vibrant colors and precise radiography techniques, Science Photo Library captures this trio of anatomical wonders with great detail and accuracy. Whether you're interested in zoology or paleoanthropology, this print offers an engaging glimpse into our shared biological heritage while igniting curiosity about our place within it.
