Scientists Reconstruct Face of Man Who Lived in China 8,000 Years Ago

A team of scientists in China has reconstructed the facial features of a man who lived 8,000 years ago, using remains excavated at the Jiahu archaeological site in Henan province.

The reconstruction offers a glimpse of an individual from the distant past, giving a face to one of the people whose remains were recovered at the renowned site.

The work links the study of ancient human remains with an effort to visualise what the man may have looked like during his lifetime.

The available details do not specify the techniques used in the reconstruction or the degree of certainty attached to the resulting likeness. No further information was provided about the man’s life or the circumstances of the discovery.
