EDITORS COMMENTS
This lateral view of a Homo sapiens cranium, popularly known as Singa 1, offers a fascinating glimpse into the anatomy of our earliest known ancestor from the African continent. Discovered by W.R.G. Bond in February 1924 on the west bank of the River Nile in Sudan, this ancient skull provides invaluable insights into the morphology and evolutionary history of our species. As a member of the Hominini tribe, Homo sapiens are characterized by their large, rounded skulls, prominent foreheads, and well-developed braincases. The lateral view of Singa 1 reveals the distinctive features of this cranium, including the broad and flat parietal bones, the prominent brow ridge, and the recessed zygomatic arches. These features are all hallmarks of the Homo sapiens cranial morphology and are thought to have evolved in response to the demands of bipedal locomotion and the increasing complexity of the human brain. The discovery of Singa 1 and other fossilized Homo sapiens crania in Africa has significantly advanced our understanding of human evolution. This important fossil not only provides evidence of the presence of our species in Africa over 10,000 years ago but also sheds light on the biological and cultural connections between modern humans and our African ancestors. As a cast of the original fossil, this print offers a unique opportunity to study the intricacies of Homo sapiens cranial anatomy and to appreciate the rich history and diversity of our species. The lateral view of Singa 1 serves as a powerful reminder of our shared ancestry and the incredible journey of human evolution.
