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).
FUCKING_CUNO 21 points a month ago
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
Catoblepas 8 points a month ago
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).

Also it seems to have taken a bit for human ethnicities and morphology to stabilize. We absorbed a lot of other humans in Africa to the point that it unironically messed up a lot of early data cause early scientists didn't think fucked to extinction was a valid form of human expansion.

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.

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.

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.
https://www.delphimuseum.gr/...
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.
luthis 4 points a month ago
Well it would be like calling native Americans 'New Yorkers' because they lived in the same area. There was definitely no New York and no Greece back then so makes no sense to call them that.
Zarobi 3 points a month ago
The analogy isn't quite right. It's more like, hypothetically, if those native people were left relatively undisturbed and not displaced. Then, hundreds of years later, their descendents are now a large proportion of New York. I would probably call them New Yorkers, yes. I don't know much about Native American history, so let me know if I'm off the mark somewhere here.
I say "relatively" because Greek people had a lot of… let's say… neighbourly troubles, and it got very "complicated" for a long time. But we still call the people living there Greek, even if their bloodline DNA is very mixed bag now. I did an Ancestry thing out of curiosity, so I should know, even though my family and I are 100% born there.
13igTyme 4 points a month ago
I'd say the analogy is good. We can look at other countries. There was a time when Rome was all over Europe. But we aren't going to call the Romans in present day England the English? There's hundreds of years of breeding taking place with Saxons, celts, norse, etc.

Wrong, in those years people also reached the age of today's people. The myth that they had a lower lifespan was due to the high mortality of newborns and a violent society that lowered the average general age.
ddplf 13 points a month ago
This guy right here, his name is Ötzi. He died around his 50s. 5000 years ago. In the high Alpes. No, not due to old age. He was actually murdered. He was not considered ancient, just old. It's speculated he was already crippled due to past wounds - both fresh and old, and yet he was fine and rocking at the altitude of over 3000 meters... until someone penetrated him with an arrow.
No that isn't a counterargument to your theory, as a single special example is never enough to discard any statement. I don't need to, because it's already well documented how wrong this perception of aging is. I just want to show you just how durable people were even in the truly ancient times.
captainlezbian 1 point a month ago
Well yeah and back then everybody was ancient
Zerush 1 point a month ago
There are several historic persons which lived more than 80 Years. The people then was genetically identic to the people today and with the same life expentancy, same as today, this depends naturally on their life style. The average lifespan of the people in WWI also was less than 30 Years.

Yeah, one thing I've learned about human genetics is that the markers for skin color are wonky and unpredictable.
I just feel like it'd be safer to assume she was a lot darker given the recency of African diaspora, but again I am far from an expert so I could be totally off.

Here we go again with the random shitting on the Greeks.
Bet the girls in England looked way better than this 9000 years ago, nothing like cro magnon apes no no they didn't eat fleas out of each other's backs where'd you hear that
Ougie 10 points a month ago
I've noticed a trend lately - not sure how far back this goes - but it appears to me that aspects of the Greek civilization are very often attributed to the Romans and mentions of the Greeks are often reduced to derogatory memes (like how easy it is to be Socrates because there was only a bunch of people alive at the time and other such bs) and of course let's not forget how gay everyone was (as if that's a bad thing but whatever). Couple that with misconceptions about Alexander the great and how he was supposedly a Slav and Macedonias weren't Greek blah blah, the fact that the Turks are trying to claim that everything that now lies in modern day Turkey is "theirs" etc etc, the claims from Christians around the world that Christian ideas are the basis of the western civilization and morality in general as if they didn't just appropriate everything from past religions and belief systems... Anyway rant over.

Hah I'm not worried mate it's all good, I just find it interesting how certain interest groups can change narratives from one day to the next. Btw this misrepresentation extends to all the non-English speaking peoples, who are basically excluded from the internet.
