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).
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
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).
Yeah but we started fucking Neanderthals way later and there were plenty of inbred diasporas with little outside contact.
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.
Why did you have to remind me?
I hear you, I had blissfully forgotten all about that.
SIX fingers...
If anyone missed the RiffTrax version of that movie it is one of the better ones. You can still find it on the privateer gulf.
This is from the movie about the making of Battlefield Earth with John Travolta played by Val Kilmer
