First European Homo
About 1.4 million years ago, a female Homo (here named the “Lozana Andaluza”) and an individual of Natrix (grass snake) on a branch of the Tertiary relic Eucommia within a glacial refuge. The artistic ensemble aims to place these early Homo individuals in their vegetation landscape. The combination of Homo and Natrix in a pristine environment is reminiscent of the Book of Genesis (Eve tempted by the apple).
