O hi

9000 is a really fucking old teenager.
That's like being Gandalf of all teenagers.
“A wizard is never late, nor is she early, she arrives preci…”
Oh shut up Helen, you knew I was going to wear my leopard print and you wore yours today just so I would look like I’m copying you! Our friendship is so over!

and she looks really good for 9000
They rounded down, she's actually 9017 years old.

I think someone mixed up the storage, and they accidentally recreated John Travolta from the Battlefield Earth movie?
It’s been a while since I’ve studied it, but IIRC skeletons of early humans show in general more traits we view as masculine, like stronger chins and a more jutting brow line, even in female skeletons. It was even more pronounced in male skeletons, but this is still pretty mild sexual dimorphism even among great apes (think male vs female gorillas, for example).
Though, even being 9000, they would still be considered a "modern" human, correct? Having evolved roughly 300k years ago, I would think their traits would be far more similar to our own then "early" versions of our species
Early might not be the right word, I think I’m mixing it up with pre-agricultural hunter gatherers (I think I’m forgetting a term here, but it’s hot and I’m tired).

Why did you have to remind me?
I hear you, I had blissfully forgotten all about that.

this feels like one of those shrink wrapped dinosaur situations. like they arent doing a good job estimating how her soft tissue would have been distributed at all. why are her eyebrows so low, why are her cheeks so lean, why is there so much tissue below her lips, why is her hairline so high and with a bit of a widows peak? it feels like they put a mans tissue distribution on a womans frame completely uncritically and called it good.
edit: i think the harsh drop lighting theyre displaying this under is making it way worse too. it might not look quite as bad with softer more diffuse lighting.
Yeah this looks completely wrong to me... Like sure, they would look very different, but they wouldn't be indistinguishable from men. Even from an evolutionary perspective that's just silly.
Even today we have women that have "facial bone structures we associate with masculinity" as they describe. It's not like we are working blind and trying to reconstruct a dinosaur or an extraterrestrial. Though maybe for some scientists, women are similarly rare.
I looked up some examples of "masculine women faces" online in 2 minutes. Even though they look "masculine", they clearly don't look like Gigachad or whatever this reconstruction is.

All three are beautiful. And in other news, I'm a gay enby.

well they always taught us in history class how greece was the hi mark of ancient culture.

Funny, if you cut the hair I'd say it's Val Kilmer.

Today, some women have very masculine features. You can find some of them on fashion show runways, for whatever reason.
This, by chance, is a skull with such features. This doesn't mean all women then had masculine features, the same way not all women today do.
Or maybe the scientist just sucks at portraits
High fashion models aren’t meant to be facially attractive. That’s what Victoria secret is for. High fashion requires a body as canvas (so be very very thin). A fierce look and walk.
Did Carrot Top forget to take his thyroid medication again?

I can suddenly see why you would fight a war over Cleopatra or Helen of Troy if this is the average local option.
Is this mislabeled for comedy purposes? Or was that the genuine reconstruction aim?
If this is a teenage girl, how the hell the grown up men looked like? I mean my masculinity is already hurt by this image alone.

All the cast of Odyssey should look like this
The Odyssey is much, much closer to now than to 9000 years ago
Yeah, it’s that old “Cleopatra lived closer to modern day than the building of the pyramids. Ancient Egypt had archeologists who studied ancient Egypt” thing.

Um guys.. I don't think Greece existed 9000 years ago.
Pelasgians (7000 BC - 3200 BC)
The name Pelasgians (Ancient Greek: Πελασγοί, romanized: Pelasgoí, singular: Πελασγός Pelasgós) was used by Classical Greek writers to refer either to the predecessors of the Greeks, or to all the inhabitants of Greece before the emergence of the Greeks. In general, "Pelasgian" has come to mean more broadly all the indigenous inhabitants of the Aegean Sea region and their cultures.

It depends on what you mean by "existed". They're the ancestors of Greeks, and they lived in what is now Greece, but didn't call themselves that name. As a Greek, to me they're "Greek by ascent", so the distinction is a bit trivial.

Would
It's OK, she's actually a 9000-year-old shapeshifting dragon.
I'm no anthropologist but wouldn't her skin be a lot darker? This feels like people making depictions of Jesus look like a modern European person.
Hair is such a big part of how people see attractiveness. Can somebody put this through a better hairstyle in a face app filter and post results?
