Quite right about the ‘burgs, but I wasn’t thinking about the British royals. Must have been a different continental royal house, about whom it was joked that they couldn’t be hanged because no chins.

[snip] Numerous members of the family showed specific facial deformities: an enlarged lower jaw with an extended chin known as mandibular prognathism or “Habsburg jaw”, a large nose with hump and hanging tip (”Habsburg nose”), and an everted lower lip (”Habsburg lip”). The latter two are signs of maxillary deficiency. A 2019 study found that the degree of mandibular prognathism in the Habsburg family shows a statistically significant correlation with the degree of inbreeding. A correlation between maxillary deficiency and degree of inbreeding was also present but was not statistically significant.[21][22] Other scientific studies, however, dispute the ideas of any linkage between fertility and consanguinity.

It’s not a bad guess to suppose that everyone at that time was “ripe” regardless of age. :^)

[seowulf]

I would guess most of the world population is still on the ripe side.

[Seruzawa]

I can see now why the men in a hunter-gatherer society were out hunting. A lot.

[SunkenCiv]

Pretty sure a reconstruction of one of the men of her village would show why that might not be true. ;^)

[SunkenCiv]

Interesting!

In "The Bronze World Is Not Just A Muff", Austin is convinced by Dr. Evil to
unfreeze Austin's partner from the past, but when she turns out to actually be
Dr. Evil's past wife, a Bronze Age chieftess, hilarity ensues.

I don’t find her that homely

Her eyes could be bigger

She’s obviously white and privileged and racist I’m sure

[Bob434]

How do they know kw it was a woman? Are they biologisits?

[Bob434]

Yup, they ca. Get pretty close- lots of cases have been solved by this process. .oke you say it isn’t perfect, UT sometimes it’s pretty close

Just a Bronze Age gal trapped in a Techno-world.

[ConservaTexan]

That would solve all this nonsense.

[SunkenCiv]

Reading the articles would indeed solve all the nonsense that gets posted in this and many other topics.

“So, where were you last night?”

And you know she has one of those voices that sounds like nails on a chalkboard when she asks it.

Any archeobioacoustical specialists out there?
