Hominid: Mountain Gorilla by Laurel Roth.
Check out the amazing job of this artist here. Absolutely stunning.
The unique nature of human fingerprints was among the many discoveries of the great Czech physiologist and anatomist Johannes G.J. Purkinje (1787-1869), whose name is associated with many structures.

Cranial parts of BOU-VP-12/130.
(Top) Superior view of the original fossil. Nonstandard orientation (rotated posteriorly ~10° from Frankfurt horizontal) to show maximum anatomy. (Bottom) Lateral view of casts to show cranial and maxillary profiles. Note that neither Frankfurt horizontal nor placement of the maxilla relative to the vault can be accurately determined and that reconstructed portions (indicated by oblique lines) are speculative.
