A very regular Pan-Western European face.

How long ago did he live?

Obviously Borreby, similar to Coon's German type which would have been related to the Bell Beakers who migrated to the British Isles. This reconstruction looks somewhat similar to the Beaker reconstructions from Scotland and England: low vaulted, round headed, face short and very wide, etc. This one has a much narrower nose than them, however.

Pure fantasy. You won't find hardly anyone in Europe with those facial proportions today, all will be from Northern Europe.

Yes, I realized that too and it makes sense since the Bell Beakers supposedly replaced almost 100% of the population in the isles. By the way, i expected the Beakers and the islands Iron Age people to have a more leptodolichomorph facial structure considering their high percentages of Steppe component (that made up around 60% of their genome) like we observe in others populations/groups with a similar genetic make up.

Beginning with the Beaker period, and continuing through the Bronze Age, all British individuals harboured high proportions of Steppe ancestry and were genetically closely related to Beaker-associated individuals from the Lower Rhine area. We use these observations to show that the spread of the Beaker Complex to Britain was mediated by migration from the continent that replaced >90% of Britain's Neolithic gene pool within a few hundred years, continuing the process that brought Steppe ancestry into central and northern Europe 400 years earlier.

Cro Magnoid there is no two ways about it.
