Scientists Recreate face of 9,000 year old Greek teenage girl *scust*

The gene for light skin did not disperse until a few 1000 years later so this girl most likely would have been much darker.

I wanna say ur trolling but ur a pretty intelligent dude so explain this to me

And goddam that bytch was hideous


I know they said women looked rougher back in the day and im not sure when makeup and beauty products were made but if I was around back then id be #GMB forever. Imagine the smell too

What's crazy is back then that may have been the height of beauty

The modern humans who came out of Africa to originally settle Europe about 40,000 years are presumed to have had dark skin, which is advantageous in sunny latitudes. And the new data confirm that about 8500 years ago, early hunter-gatherers in Spain, Luxembourg, and Hungary also had darker skin: They lacked versions of two genes—SLC24A5 and SLC45A2—that lead to depigmentation and, therefore, pale skin in Europeans today.

But in the far north—where low light levels would favor pale skin—the team found a different picture in hunter-gatherers: Seven people from the 7700-year-old Motala archaeological site in southern Sweden had both light skin gene variants, SLC24A5 and SLC45A2. They also had a third gene, HERC2/OCA2, which causes blue eyes and may also contribute to light skin and blond hair. Thus ancient hunter-gatherers of the far north were already pale and blue-eyed, but those of central and southern Europe had darker skin.

Then, the first farmers from the Near East arrived in Europe; they carried both genes for light skin. As they interbred with the indigenous hunter-gatherers, one of their light-skin genes swept through Europe, so that central and southern Europeans also began to have lighter skin. The other gene variant, SLC45A2, was at low levels until about 5800 years ago when it swept up to high frequency.

White Skin for Most Modern Europeans Did Not Evolve in Europe at All - Science Vibe

Most of us think of Europe as the ancestral home of white people. But a new study shows that pale skin, as well as other traits such as tallness and the ability to digest milk as adults, arrived in most of the continent relatively recently. The work, presented here last week at the 84th annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists, offers dramatic evidence of recent evolution in Europe and shows that most modern Europeans don’t look much like those of 8000 years ago.
The origins of Europeans have come into sharp focus in the past year as researchers have sequenced the genomes of ancient populations, rather than only a few individuals.

By comparing key parts of the DNA across the genomes of 83 ancient individuals from archaeological sites throughout Europe, the international team of researchers reported earlier this year that Europeans today are a mix of the blending of at least three ancient populations of hunter-gatherers and farmers who moved into Europe in separate migrations over the past 8000 years. The study revealed that a massive migration of Yamnaya herders from the steppes north of the Black Sea may have brought Indo-European languages to Europe about 4500 years ago.

You ever seen them Ellis Island pictures. Lots of Women were that busted 100 years ago.

lots of women are busted now I'm sure its some hhoes in scotland right now that look like this

Straight neanderthal genes on this one..might not have been native to the region they found her since the last straight neanderthal population was around Gibraltar around 24.000 yrs ago and they were getting wiped out at a rapid rate by modern homo sapiens that came from the south.I think that neanderthal women had elevated levels of testosteron since they hunted along the men and were not settled into domesticated roles as females,that might explain the strong jaw and manly features..that and their direct ancestors cannibalism of course
