Stonehenge: ‘Bias’ facial reconstruction of 5,500-year-old man sparks furious debate

Oct 4, 2021

It is said to be the most advanced reconstruction of a Neolithic man’s face ever, and it tells the story of the area before Stonehenge was even created. Forensic evidence has shown that the man was between 25 – 40 years old, was a slender build and was born around 5,500 years ago. This was about 500 years before the circular ditch and banks at Stonehenge were built.

The incredible image was shared on Twitter by archaeologists Alison Fisk, but some users were not impressed, claiming that was inaccurate and a bad portrayal of what a Neolithic man would have looked like.

One user wrote: “A number of mummified bodies from the relative time frame confirm likely skin colour.

“Your genetic hypothesis is unsupported by the bulk of available evidence.

So those woke/liberals who rip their garments for the man's reconstruction being very white looking (something that would normally be expected for anybody with a functional brain),they kick and cry bebecause they would have liked him to be black or some sort of negroid looking individual, it seems

The people who built stone-henge were closer to swarthy Welsh med type people those stone structures can also be found throughout France and perhaps parts of Spain or whatnot.

I agree. But stupid liberals would have liked that Europeans from 5000 years ago were some sort of negroid-like people to fit some stupid theories they have in mind, that would go with their agenda of "we are all equal"

There was a "black" now there had to be a white person with whom Americans could identify, like the one who put the skunk on his head. More and more the modern mentality is seen in the reconstructions, a pity.

My own results. It really reached as far as the Iberian Peninsula and possibly also West North Africa.

Spoiler!

The reconstructed face was put on display back in 2014 at the English Heritage Stonehenge Visitor Centre, touted as one of the highlights of the new exhibition. It is a forensic reconstruction of an early Neolithic man's face, recreating the face of an individual from skeletal remains without taking genetic data into account.

The reconstruction is biased, he should look Sardinian, not "British white".

Basically, you are correct. That was the point I was talking about that neolithic-mesolithic strain in the British is med. The culture of the megaliths was a med thing from Spain/France to Britain spanned this megalithic culture. Later keltic and other invasions added leavening to the neolithic-mesolithic med strain giving us "nordicized mediterranean' looking people and "exotic nordic" looking people but before this leavening it was straight med. That was the point I was trying to make but you probably already knew that.
