The face of ‘Stonehenge Man’. A forensic reconstruction of a Neolithic man born about 5,500 years ago and buried in a long barrow near Stonehenge. He lived in the area before the stone circle was built. The long barrow was excavated in the 1860s.

I came face to face with this incredibly lifelike facial reconstruction of a Neolithic man in the exhibition at the English Heritage Stonehenge Visitor Centre. More info on this link: https://english-heritage.org.uk/about-us/search-news/stonehenge-transformed/…

7. Actually looks like someone I know!

Not a terribly bad-looking guy, as far as Neolithic men go.

9. Looks like a Caucasian male.

Why would anyone expect anything different? It really wasn't THAT long ago. Evolution takes much longer than that to make its changes. Stonehenge man looked just like most of us of European heritage.

No surprise there.

13. Quite. I just wish the forensic artist had given him a different expression --

However, it is really amazing what they can do these days.
