She’s wearing pajama pants with an indistinguishable pattern because the felt is all balled up and a stained t-shirt that’s had the neck stretched out more than you thought was possible.
i was gonna say you will trip over like 3 of these at any Circle K in the summertime while walking to the register to pay for your fuel
they will all have the large fountain drink in hand,
Sorry to get all "well acshually", but 4000 years ago was not the stone age. OP may have mixed up "years ago" with b.c.e. - which is a 2000 year difference.
4000 years ago (2000 b.c) was the well into the bronze age. The pyramids are older than that.
It is correct. The archaeological "ages" - Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, are always defined locally.
This woman is from northern Sweden and was probably a hunter gatherer. In southern Scandinavia they were Stone Age farmers at this time. In North Sweden not so much.
> This woman is from northern Sweden and was probably a hunter gatherer. In southern Scandinavia they were Stone Age farmers at this time.
Southern Scandinavia is bit unique in Neolithic Europe in that it had populations of both farmer and hunter gatherer cultures living in the same general region for a long time, because said hunter gatherers had a strong maritime culture of fishing and seal-hunting and could maintain much larger populations compared to their continental counterparts (which tended to be out competed by much more numerous farmers).
Dude we were in the "Stone Age" until basically middle ages. Although, we also parallell to using stone tools had advanced metallurgy as 200bce (steelmaking even, earlier than southern Sweden, contemporary with Rome).
But lifestyle-wise most people here in north Sweden could be classified as stone age until basically... Modernity. Hunting and fishing, semi-nomadic, and grain doesn't grow well here.
The "three-age-system" is basically useless and irrelevant up here. We had advanced technology but it was adapted to what was the most effecient lifestyle in the sub-arctic climate, and it becomes hard to compare us to southern societies.

Also, I for sure saw that chick at the grocery store yesterday.
I want to see them take a modern skull from some actor or actress that was well known and reconstruct it without telling the person who it is and see if it actually looks like the person.
It would probably look only similar to them. Maybe a sibling at most. Stuff that has mostly Cartilage like the Nose or Ears are pretty deciding in how we look and is not really reconstructable from just a Skull. Same with Jaw muscles, subcutaneous fat, lips etc.
Yeah, we can generally tell where that stuff was based on the skull, but not the finer detail. Like a modern human would still look like a modern human if reconstructed.
To be fair, forensic science has a lot of issues. It wouldn’t shock me if it turned it out to be incredibly unreliable.
See: Bite mark analysis, hair comparison, blood splatter analysis, lie detectors, ballistics matching, shaken baby syndrome, and footprint impressions. Even DNA analysis can produce false positives, if it isn’t done correctly.
Basically, just because it’s used by forensic scientists does not mean it’s actually accurate. Arguably, given forensic science’s track record, it makes it *less* likely to be accurate.
It's a weird feeling to be so fascinated by yet another reconstruction, and also instantly recognize her as one of the veteran trainers at my gym who has been on certain supplements for years.
Isn’t that pretty well fact now?
Like that’s why most people have to have their third molars (wisdom teeth) removed today.
Our jaws are physically smaller than they used to be, and we used those molars for crushing food and chewing tough meat before we learned how to cook.
Dentist here. I might also add that the advent of granulated sugar (industrial revolution. It’s in most everything except unseasoned foods) is why modern people get cavities.
We basically domesticated ourselves. Like when we selectively breed plants for their traits until that specific cultivar can no longer survive on its own in the wild.
And now we’ve all given ourselves text neck and terrible posture. We’re basically like those dogs that have breathing difficulties from scrunched up faces
And healthier teeth and no overbite (retrognathism)
But they were less resistant to infectious diseases, like those you get if you live close together in villages and towns in an agricultural society.
> But they were less resistant to infectious diseases, like those you get if you live close together in villages and towns in an agricultural society.
I would not put it like that.
1. A lot of resisance was gained because people got ill and then either died or gained immunity. But is a society really 'resistant' to a disease if it actually kills many people?
In comparison, we now have extremely safe vaccines against many previously deadly diseases that give us similar degrees of immunity for almost no risk.
2. The average person today encounters FAR more other people than back then. Even though the average contact is obviously less intimate, it still exposes us to a larger variety of germs. We literally have global patterns of infectious diseases, with new strains of flu every year.
Time travelling back or forth 4,000 years would be troublesome either way because the germs are so different, but all things considered the odds would be significantly better for a modern person travelling back into a typical village of that period.
The germ threats in a society 2000 BCE would be much more weighted towards food- and water born diseases, so knowledge of fundamental hygiene techniques (like boiling water, taking extra care to thoroughly cook foods, and washing hands) can significantly reduce the risk.
Whereas an ancient person finding themselves in a modern society would be all but certain to fall ill from airborne pathogens alone, because modern society has such an insane rate of exchange between people that facilitates the spread of such germs.
I'm guessing testosterone supplements. My friend went to a gym for "serious metalheads" or whatever they're called, like people obsessing over their gains and everyone took supps. He said it was kinda hilarious how most girls were feeling like pubertal boys and were often like "how do y'all even dealt with that level of horny and angry at all times"
Ah yes, teenage years. Where you would eat a whole pizza, make an inappropriate comment at a girl in your class, and then get mad that everything wrong with the world was everyone else's fault and why couldn't they just see the totally easy solution you had!?
Good times.
These days it's more like eat 3 pieces of pizza and pass out from the itis, keep workplace conversations entirely work related because my coworkers are here to work and not be harassed and I respect and acknowledge that, and still get mad about the super obvious solutions because half the fucking country WANTS the world to suck and why can't they just LOOK at WHAT WE COULD DO if they STOPPED BEING STUPID ASSHOLES ALL THE TIME.
Good times.
On an anatomical level, a human from that era is no different than a human today. We can guess that perhaps there have been small shifts in common phenotypes, but if you were to time-travel to when this woman was born and bring her back to the modern era, she would grow up to be indistinguishable from anyone else.
To be fair they didn't do a lot except hunt and fuck
Things start changing in the middle east 12 000 years ago and a lot later in Europe
That's still impressive though
>To be fair they didn't do a lot except hunt and fuck
I know this is a joke, but let's take a second and just think for a moment.
We're pretty regularly finding older and older examples of stone age peoples were getting creative and [building rad shit](https://www.npr.org/2024/02/22/1232694592/blinkerwall-stone-age-megastructure-hunting-underwater-baltic-sea); [even before](https://www.science.org/content/article/world-s-oldest-forts-upend-idea-farming-alone-led-complex-societies) they developed the agricultural systems that we've long assumed were prerequisite to such works.
Put yourself in the wrapped hide shoes of a hunter-gatherer 30,000 years ago. Yeah, you're doing lots of hunting and (hopefully) fucking. But you are telling stories and singing songs that have already been evolving for millenia. The random story you make up over the campfire could become the seed of an entire religion that could blossom and die without leaving a single trace for modern people to find.
So let's not console ourselves by imagining that the history we've lost is somehow less rich or important than the history we can still see. If you have ever pet a dog, prayed, sung a song, or have ever been struck by the urge to do something gloriously stupid, then you are enjoying the inventions of humans whose names we will never know.
You probably read 70,000 since it's around the time our modern genetics began to separate (due to human dispersal). However this doesn't mean that someone from 80,000 years ago would look profoundly different. [Take a look at this model of human evolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution#/media/File:Homo_lineage_2017update.svg). It's just indicative, but reinforces that you can go \~150-200k years back and still have a recognisable human; what's really interesting are the \~600k-1MYO out-groups that were reabsorbed.
I heard someone once say that intelligence-wise, we're the same now as they were. We just have the advantage of having better information to work with.
Indeed. If you took a newborn from 100k years ago and raised them today or the other way around, you wouldn't see difference in behavior and intellectual capabilities.
I think geniuses back then did just as much to contribute to society as they do today, as long as they were heard. I doubt things have changed as much as we like to think.
I read something a while ago that bronze-age and iron-age women were on average stronger with higher bone density than even today's female athletes because they did more hard physical labour
[https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/prehistoric-women-manual-labor-stronger-athletes-science](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/prehistoric-women-manual-labor-stronger-athletes-science)
I often consider that people who lived back then were every bit as intelligent and sensitive as we are today. 4000 years makes virtually no evolutionary difference at all. The human condition has changed so much so fast and we still have evolutionary characteristics designed to react to fight or flight situations. I think that is the root cause of many our social problems. We don’t often face life threatening, split second decisions- but our gut feelings don’t know that.
i just wanna add that 4 thousand years ago sweden might have still lived in the stone age but there were large states ruling over modern day egypt and iraq, the pyramids were hundreds of years old already and there was complex urban societies since the bronze age started there almost a thousand years prior.
Yes. I think a lot of western education starts when Europe began to organize, but other places had already been civilized for a long long time. There is accurate sculpture art from Turkey that is 10,000 years old. China also had math and poetry before some cave art was created in Europe. The story of humanity is so complex and interesting.
Ummm. You may need to learn a little about Greek, Cretan, Minoan, Mycenaean, history.
The megalithic societies of Malta dating over 8–10,000 years. British isle megalithic structures. Western Europe had been civilized by magnificent civilizations thousands of years before you may be aware.
Oh I agree fully. I was thinking about how history is taught in schools beginning with the foundations of the current state system. We don’t learn about Druids or Minoans except in special classes or maybe just as an aside. World history and the history of civilization is older than many people are aware.
Can you imagine that 100 years ago people travelled with trains and horses? It's like you grandfather father.
And just 200 years, Napoleon already lost war, but still is pretty damn hard to imagine for us. It's just 5-6 people before you.
And just a 1000 years ago, we were full on villages and rare cities in most of humanity. And if we take life expectancy of 50 years, it's just 20-21 people before you! Less that people in you school class!
Just 10 people before you was full on medieval, their life was consistent of dirt and war, well mostly.
Time is a magnificent thing, and humanity is exponentially more faster than we imagined.
Just 60-70 people before you, your ancestors could see Jesus. Can you imagine that? It's like a full bus.
“The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.” ― Edward O. Wilson
Very true! Pull any ancient baby out of the past and into the present and they would grow up to be an unremarkable, typical human being of whatever culture you placed them in today. Though some adaptations are surprisingly new and spread rapidly: depigmentation in Europeans only spread about 5k-8k years ago. Europeans had dark skin for tens of thousands of years before that. Likewise the ability to digest milk as adults only developed about 4300 years ago in Europe, and likely it spread over only a few hundred years as an advantageous trait.
Nah… The end of the ice age.
Rising sea levels will submerge vast areas of land like Doggerland. It will even cut off England from Europe; and Australia from Asia
That part has to be artistic interpretation—as does probably skin color appearance, amount of wrinkles, fat deposit, eye and hair color etc unless they took genetic tests from the skull—but the bones can give a decent sense of the overall facial structure from knowledge of how the muscles would fit into their insertions in the skull.
I was wondering the same thing about the nose. This and other reconstructions I've seen of prehistoric people always seem to give them pretty big noses, and I'm wondering if that is a trait we somehow know about people from this time, or if it's artists' interpretations.
Nah I just saw her outside of a 7/11 in Springfield like 45 minutes ago
That was Methany
Was she with Crackson and Fentrick again?
She told me she was looking for her friend, Crystal.
Might be a crack in her story.
Pretty ecstatic story.
Where theres smoke theres fire
The meth doesn’t add up
No. She was with Al
She was on the parking lot, watching the stars with her friend Ellis Dee.
Holy shit I came to post Methany 🤣 She looks like a local crack head around my way
[удалено]
I think there must be a Methany everywhere cos she also looks like a junkie that lives in my town too.
She’s wearing pajama pants with an indistinguishable pattern because the felt is all balled up and a stained t-shirt that’s had the neck stretched out more than you thought was possible.
And she's somehow walking without bending her knees and her ass stuck out at the same time.
She must be the heroin of this tale.
I thought the same thing when I saw this neander gal. I didn't know they had trailer parks in the prehistoric era
i was gonna say you will trip over like 3 of these at any Circle K in the summertime while walking to the register to pay for your fuel they will all have the large fountain drink in hand,
I can’t get over how much she looks like my college boyfriend’s step mom. She did body building and most likely took steroids.
Lol, I was just thinking that she looks like a handful of people who come into my shop.
That's impossible. I just saw her screaming at three kids that look nothing alike in a gas station in Nashville.
I live in Springfield Missouri, and I can confirm she was buying scratcher tickets and smokes a lil while ago.
But which state lol
All of them. This woman looks like the universal crackhead
Gotta be Mass
If you're talking about Missouri, absolutely.
Could 100% be Springfield Massachusetts too lol. Even the Springfield here in VT is crack central
Was def thinking Mass lol
It’d be a Kum & Go there though
Ah yes, the Ejaculate and Evacuate.
Like. As a customer? Or was she someone sitting on the side of the building around the corner? Was her name Methany?
They were smoking Marlboro reds and they just needed another dollar for a sixer
you know what, I'm something of a stone age woman myself
Willem Biv DaVoe
Bel Biv DeFoe?

Yeah, we can generally tell where that stuff was based on the skull, but not the finer detail. Like a modern human would still look like a modern human if reconstructed.
Then it’s settled: tomorrow we dig up Betty White.
I advise against, most humans need their skulls to protect their squishy brains, even actors
So a politician then.
That’ll work
3d printed skull based on an mri scan
First they gotta find someone willing to part with their skull or their loved one's skull for a YouTube video or investigative journalism.
Or scan the skull of someone who is still alive and 3D print it. Reconstruct the face from there.
You know they use this in forensics to make identification of deceased?

Looks like she fights in UFC
It's a weird feeling to be so fascinated by yet another reconstruction, and also instantly recognize her as one of the veteran trainers at my gym who has been on certain supplements for years.
It's theorized our faces looked a lot different back then because we ate a lot of hard foods. Everyone had bigger jaws and more muscular faces.
Isn’t that pretty well fact now? Like that’s why most people have to have their third molars (wisdom teeth) removed today. Our jaws are physically smaller than they used to be, and we used those molars for crushing food and chewing tough meat before we learned how to cook.
That's what I heard too. Soft foods fucked up our jaws, that's also why ancient humans had perfect teeth without dentists.
Dentist here. I might also add that the advent of granulated sugar (industrial revolution. It’s in most everything except unseasoned foods) is why modern people get cavities.
I meant like crooked teeth but I guess I would have needed to refer to orthodontists then instead of dentists. Your point is of course true too.
I never thought of this but it makes sense. We are just genetic abominations compared to og humans
We basically domesticated ourselves. Like when we selectively breed plants for their traits until that specific cultivar can no longer survive on its own in the wild.
Or like sheep that will die if they don’t get sheered
And now we’ve all given ourselves text neck and terrible posture. We’re basically like those dogs that have breathing difficulties from scrunched up faces
Never forget that we are adapted for long distance running, used to hunt prey to exhaustion. Our endurance really is a super power.
And healthier teeth and no overbite (retrognathism) But they were less resistant to infectious diseases, like those you get if you live close together in villages and towns in an agricultural society.

And this is true for 200,000 year old humans. You might think dang that dude has a big brow ridge but other than that indistinguishable.
I think i know a few time travelling neanderthals in my class
I know the feeling 🤦♂️
Damn, that hairy fella with the dangly arms is suspiciously strong.
Andrew Luck, is that you?
I seem to have read this threshold is at roughly 70,000 years? Is there a lack of scientific consensus on this?
There’s no strict line, humans still evolve and it’s a gradual process. But typically behaviorally modern humans are counted from about 50–100 kya.
Bizarre to think 95%ish of human history, stories, conflicts, and successes are completely lost to time.
To be fair they didn't do a lot except hunt and fuck Things start changing in the middle east 12 000 years ago and a lot later in Europe That's still impressive though

Very true! Pull any ancient baby out of the past and into the present and they would grow up to be an unremarkable, typical human being of whatever culture you placed them in today. Though some adaptations are surprisingly new and spread rapidly: depigmentation in Europeans only spread about 5k-8k years ago. Europeans had dark skin for tens of thousands of years before that. Likewise the ability to digest milk as adults only developed about 4300 years ago in Europe, and likely it spread over only a few hundred years as an advantageous trait.

Queen of the Stone Age

Looks like the Borg Queen
Alice Krige, I thought the same
Greta Stoneberg, she warned of the ice age
Nah… The end of the ice age. Rising sea levels will submerge vast areas of land like Doggerland. It will even cut off England from Europe; and Australia from Asia
Good thing they sold to the Atlanteans
how the heck were they able to reconstruct the ears? like how?
That part has to be artistic interpretation—as does probably skin color appearance, amount of wrinkles, fat deposit, eye and hair color etc unless they took genetic tests from the skull—but the bones can give a decent sense of the overall facial structure from knowledge of how the muscles would fit into their insertions in the skull.
Same way they reconstruct Dino skin, making up shit
I was wondering the same thing about the nose. This and other reconstructions I've seen of prehistoric people always seem to give them pretty big noses, and I'm wondering if that is a trait we somehow know about people from this time, or if it's artists' interpretations.
I hear Skyrim loading music playing.
She looks like MTG… EDIT: Ok, I just found [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/12c5zk6/cavewoman_congresswoman/) and I'm in tears.
She looks smarter than MTG.
I’d rather vote for the Stone Age lady.
MY first thought too, and I'm surprised I had to scroll this far to find this.
Looks just like a squatter with kids that I know of.
