For Those Interested in Archaeology

Like a good ambush.

 

"Researchers created a facial approximation of a 45,000-year-old individual who is believed to be the oldest anatomically modern human ever to be genetically sequenced.
In 1950, archaeologists discovered a severed skull buried deep inside a cave system in Czechia (the Czech Republic). Because the skull was split in half, researchers concluded that the skeletal remains were of two separate individuals. However, through genome sequencing done decades later, scientists concluded that the skull actually belonged to a single person: a woman who lived 45,000 years ago.
Researchers named her the Zlatý kůň woman, or "golden horse" in Czech, in a nod to a hill above the cave system. Further analysis of her DNA revealed that her genome carried roughly 3% Neanderthal ancestry, that she was part of a population of early modern humans who likely mated with Neanderthals and that her genome was the oldest modern human genome ever to be sequenced.
new online paper published July 18 offers new insight into her possible appearance in the form of a facial approximation.
To create the woman's likeness, researchers used data collected from several existing computed tomography (CT) scans of her skull that are part of an online database. However, like the archaeologists who unearthed her remains more than 70 years ago, they discovered that chunks of the skull were missing, including a large portion of the left side of her face.
"An interesting piece of information about the skull is that it was gnawed by an animal after her death," study co-author Cicero Moraes, a Brazilian graphics expert, told Live Science in an email. "This animal could have been a wolf or a hyena ([both were] present in the fauna at that time)."
To replace the missing portions, Moraes and his team utilized statistical data compiled in 2018 by researchers who created a reconstruction of the skull. They also consulted two CT scans — of a modern-day woman and man — as they created the digital face."

Bit of a crossover with 'for the astronuts here.'
"Scientists discover 3,000-year-old arrowhead made out of ‘alien iron’ in Switzerland
The weapon - made of a meteorite - was found by researchers from the University of Bern at an ancient Bronze Age site by the name of Mörigen in Switzerland.
Geologists tested the material composition of the artefact, which was found to contain aluminium-26, which is an isotope commonly found in the solar system, but not naturally occurring on Earth.
There have only been discoveries of three meteorites made of the same composition on Earth, in Spain, the Czech Republic and Estonia.
The experts are of the view that the incredibly ornate weapon is made of the Estonian rock, which would have landed around 1,400 miles away."

Could be also a type of salesmanship…if you want recruit you have to do better than the competition. Also never under estimate the ego of the human male…throw in a dash of insecurity and you have the explanation for many things.
