The face of an eight-year-old Neanderthal boy who died more than 30,000 years ago has been reconstructed by scientists who used a skull initially found in the Teshik-Tash cave in Uzbekistan in 1938.

The portrait is the first three-dimensional restoration of a Neanderthal skull fossil, which reveals the young boy had a small, turned-up nose that sunk into his face.

The fossil is the first Neanderthal fossil discovered in Asia and the only complete Asian Neanderthal skull fossil preserved so far....

[sten]

the nose is pure guesswork.

it’s soft tissue and there would’ve been no evidence of what it looked like.

same with facial hair.

[ifinnegan]

Yes. People like this stuff, but it’s not knowable.

[Tell It Right]

If I was black I’d be offended at the racism of worldly “scientists” filling in the gaps of their knowledge by automatically assuming Neanderthals had black features.

Bet he didn’t date much

Also the shape of the Neantherdal skull seems more appropriate for an ape than a human.

If you couldn’t cut your hair...it would have been a lot longer.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Looks almost human except for the pig nose.

Looks very much like the guy that dried my truck at the car wash last week.

[Fresh Wind]

He clearly suffers from nostrilitis.

[MeganC]

He looks Russian.

[Adder]

Looks more like 18 than 8.

Lot of the soft tissue work is only speculative...

Climate change. Those cavemen - B.C. and Thor - were driving around on their one wheel vehicles.

[Tupelo]

He seems to bear a passing resemblance to Shelia Jackson Lee.
Is it possible?

[Gay State Conservative]

Did he look anything like Adam Schitt?

[heavy metal]

kinda resembles grouchy greta...

[UNGN]

Neaderthals are European, so that means modern day blacks are “Cultural Appropriating” Europeans.
