The 'strong' face of the 'oldest ever human' has been rebuilt using a forensic reconstruction, giving people the opportunity to look a homo sapien in the eye.<\/p>\n

Skhul 5 is a 90,000-year-old skull discovered in 1932 in Skhul Cave, Mount Carmel, Israel. This skull of an adult male has developed relatively modern features including a higher forehead, but keeps archaic features including a brow ridge and slightly projecting face.<\/p>\n

And now, the candidate for the earliest modern human ever discovered, can be gazed upon thanks to Brazilian graphics expert Cicero Moraes and his team who produced a 3D likeness of Skhul 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see a strong man ready to fight for survival," he said. \u201cThe basis for the approximation was the 3D-scanned skull.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIts condition was very good, as a significant part of the skull was available and a small part was reconstructed by specialists."<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cIn this work, the anatomical deformation technique was used.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoughly speaking, the tomography of a modern human is adjusted so that the skull of the modern man is converted into the fossil Skhul V.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe soft tissue \u2013 skin, muscles, fat, etc. \u2013 follows the deformation and generates an approximate face, which would be that of the fossilized individual.\u201d<\/p>\n

The science leads to an objective recreation, rendered in black and white with no expression.<\/p>\n

But subjective elements like skin tone, eye colour and hair are often added to breathe life into the recreation.<\/p>\n

The man now known as Skhul V is believed to have been between 30 and 40-years-old when he died.<\/p>\n

Scientists originally thought he was from an earlier human species, due to the robustness of his skull, but he\u2019s now believed to be an early homo sapiens.<\/p>\n

Whether he\u2019s the oldest homo sapiens ever found, however, depends on how you classify the other contenders.<\/p>\n
