Is this recreation of faces in soft tissue simulation more than just hopes and guesses? I wonder what the oldest preserved human is; i.e. Bog People from peat bogs, preserved in ice in Siberia, etc? Where we could actually at least sort of see a face?
It’s based on forensic measurements of skeletal remains.
It’s been used by police all over the world for decades.............
Although I no longer have a link to it, numerous Neanderthal faces were found drawn on a cave floor. So we do know what they looked like generally.
