Recreate the human face 7 million years ago

An exhibition using forensic techniques to recreate the face of an ancient man was held in Dresden (Germany).

An exhibition using forensic techniques to recreate the face of an ancient man was held in Dresden (Germany).

With the help of computer-generated imaging techniques, forensic anthropologists have recreated 27 different faces over time from the fossil record of the ancients about 7 million years ago. This is the period of Sahelanthropus tchadensis - the previous period of divergence of humans and chimpanzees (about 6.3 to 5.4 million years ago). It is very close to human ancestors.

Each face will let us determine where they live, what they eat, the cause of their death and more.

Here are some reconstructed face images in the exhibition:
