This Is What Our Ancient Ancestors Really Looked Like

Neolithic Man – The 5,600‑Year‑Old Farmer

Chinese archaeologists reconstructed the face of a man who lived near the Yellow River around 5,600 years ago during the Yangshao culture. Using 3D modelling and genetic analysis to predict skin tone and hair colour, they achieved about 90% accuracy. He was around 40 years old, with a broad, weathered face – a farmer who spent his life working the land, not posing for statues.
