Face of 45,000-year-old woman reconstructed 70 years after skull found

An international team of researchers has approximated the face of a woman whose 45,000-year-old remains were discovered more than 70 years ago.

The severed skull of the Zlatý kůň woman — the oldest modern human to be genetically sequenced — was found buried in a cave system in the Czech Republic in 1950.

Scientists created the digital face using data from the 2018 CT scans of her reconstructed skull, according to an online paper published last month.

One image shows a woman with dark, curled hair, light brown skin, and brown eyes set on a strong face with proportionally wide features.

Interesting Engineering noted that the woman’s nine-piece skull is under the care of the Department of Anthropology of the National Museum in Prague, and the researchers didn’t have access to the bones for their facial experiment.

PeteS in CA:
A few caveats ... characteristics such as hair color, hair texture, skin color, eye brows, and eye color are pure conjecture. Although if she was out in the Sun quite a bit she would have been tanned if her skin color had otherwise been pale.

Calls for a verse of "We iz da wurld......"
