Great. I'm glad to hear all of this. I just wanted you to understand what we deal with here on a daily basis. Again, I apologize for misjudging you.
I think it's natural as human beings to want to know what other human beings look like, especially those who were our ancestors. Unfortunately, all we can do is go on the few snps we have confidence had a certain impact, and reconstructions from bones. I don't think any of them are exact, but having worked with forensic specialists who do these kinds of reconstructions, they're often at least generally correct, so I think perhaps we can say that our Mesolithic European ancestors seemed to have very robust bones, wide strong jaws, wide, sharp cheekbones etc. The European Neolithic farmers, although mixed with WHG, seemed to have relatively longer, slightly softer faces, with cheekbones that are usually "flatter". However, that's not always true. Look at Otzi. The admixture changed his head shape and cheekbones as well.
And you're right: the phenotypes persist.View attachment 9696
The best invention scientists could come up with, imo, after curing terrible diseases, is a time machine. I'd take substantial risks to try it. I would so like to know what all of these people were like.
That guy looks like he could be Otzi's twin, with the only exception being the hair color.
They should have gotten this guy to play him in the upcoming movie.
