I'm sorry to all paleoanthropologists. But it's true!

I know Tumblr loves facial reconstructions of fossil human ancestors so here you go, the full collection at the Hall of Human Origins at the Smithsonian.

In order, left to right top to bottom:

Sahelanthropus tchadensis

Australopithecus africanus

Australopithecus afarensis

Paranthropus boisei

Homo erectus

Homo heidelbergensis

Homo floresiensis

Homo neanderthalensis

Note that some of the information in the placards may be out of date, as afaik it has been a number of years since it has been updated and many fossils have been found since. However, they provide a great little window into the eyes of our ancestors and ancient cousins.

Non-specific early hominin mostly modeled after ardipithecus ramidus practice gone off the rails 🤪 Oopsie.

Been going through a bit of a paleoanthropology hyperfixation the past two weeks or so ...

Wishing much love, kindness, and a happy Gregorian New Year to all as we go into 2025 along with some more slice of life Neanderthal art! 💛💛💛 :-)
