teenage faces in stone age

Ever imagine what people face from 5,500 BC (BC)? Now, the experts managed to reconstruct what kind of face people from the stone age.

MSc student Jenny Barber from the University of Dundee makes use of the latest police techniques commonly used to reconstruct and identify decaying bodies to re-create the face of 15-year-old Viste Boy teenager.

This adolescent lived in the Vistehola cave near Stavanger in Norway at 7,500 years ago in a clan of 10-15 people. As police technology becomes more sophisticated, the results of this reconstruction become one of the most accurate visions of human ancestors.

Barber uses x-rays and scanned laser fragments of skulls to create 3D computer models of skulls. Because the scan is very detailed, Barber adds some additional information about this Viste Boy.

"My goal is to make things as real as possible with the original," he said as quoted by DM.

Reconstruction results show, this teenager is quite muscular and healthy.
