Bob F: No reason they couldn't have been "ugly as sin" and still been human looking. The "ugliest" people I ever saw, however, were two women of young but...

Actually, that's pretty much what some of the better reconstructionists do (Gurche, for one, although he adds a lot of "realistic touches" that are purely his...

Bob: Let's all chip in some bucks and hire a totally unbiased police forensics expert who works at face-restorations to identi- fy old skulls among newly-found...
Dave: To be perfectly fair, they probably did the best they could with what was available to them. in this case, it was half a face. Anne G Actually, that's...
To the question of whether Saint-Cesaire preserves the skull up to the midline, refer to Group photos 39 and 40 (or thereabouts) and you will find there's...
Dar: I've seen copies of these photos in various publications. Both of them, in fact, although the side view is more familiar to me. I suspect you could...
All Below is an URL that links to an interesting article about the Dmanisi people. The information isn't real new, but there is a "slant" to this that may...
If you're not worried about it, I'll leave them in. You certainly can delete them whenever you want. I was worried more about lawsuits against palanthsci...

The brow ridges also seem to be too small for the fossil, but again a profile would be better for judging that. It does seem to look like two different faces...
Dave: The reconstruction looks, well, odd(the "forward thrust" midface seems "stuck on", but the browridges don't. At least to my inexpert eye. Anne G The...
No, the brow ridges don't look "stuck on", in fact, they aren't very noticeable at all. It looks like a Neandertal mouth on a modern face, which is what I...
Dave: Were you googling specifically for other images of St. Cesaire or for Neandertals in general? If the latter, there are a bunch of images that only have...
I was looking for other views of this particular reconstruction. I might try looking for the artist's name (I think Yahoo credits one). So far, the only...
