EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Neolithic flint arrowhead, known as C014 / 1025. Dating back approximately 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, this stone-age artifact was discovered in Mauritania, West Africa. The arrowhead's exquisite craftsmanship is evident with its sharp point and blade-like shape. Against a striking black background, the intricately carved African weapon stands out prominently. Held delicately by a Caucasian adult hand, the arrowhead offers us a glimpse into the early human tool-making practices of our ancestors. The detail captured in this image allows us to appreciate the skillful knapping technique used to create such an essential hunting implement during prehistoric times. This single fragment serves as a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of ancient hominids. As we study this archaeological treasure through an anthropological lens, it provides valuable insights into our evolutionary past and sheds light on how early humans adapted and thrived in their environments. Its significance extends beyond mere paleontological curiosity; it represents humanity's enduring quest for survival and progress. Javier Trueba's expert photography captures every minute detail of this extraordinary piece of history. Through Science Photo Library's dedication to scientific exploration and documentation, we are privileged to witness firsthand the wonders that lie within our collective heritage.
