I think someone mixed up the storage, and they accidentally recreated John Travolta from the Battlefield Earth movie?
O hi

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).

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

If anyone missed the RiffTrax version of that movie is one of the better ones. You can still find it on the privateer gulf.

This is what we’d get if there was a movie about the making of the movie Battlefield Earth with John Travolta played by Val Kilmer

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.

Funny, if you cut the hair I’d say it’s Val Kilmer.

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.

High fashion models aren’t meant to be facially attractive. That’s what Victoria secret is for. High fashion requires a body as canvas (so be very very thin). A fierce look and walk.

I can suddenly see why you would fight a war over Cleopatra or Helen of Troy if this is the average local option.

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.
Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
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.

Well yeah and back then everybody was ancient

MTG dyed her hair?
HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’m no anthropologist but wouldn’t her skin be a lot darker? This feels like people making depictions of Jesus look like a modern European person.
fossilesque@mander.xyz 1 month ago
Like everything in life, tl;dr it’s complicated, but no doubt she got a little more sunkissed lmao.
HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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
justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
random shitting? so it’s not related to the scientific research that was done in Greece and not in England?
Ougie@lemmy.world 1 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.
