Wasn’t that a Pearl Jam song, “Can’t Find a Cheddar Man”?

I suspect Wisconsin has a trademark on that name.

If not, it was a wedge issue when the legislature held a vote on it...

5ft 5in and 10,000 years ago. Back then, he may have been taller than average. I was in Western Europe a bunch of years ago and there were lots of local guys there who were about 5ft 8ins. Amsterdam was ultra tall. France and England short. Really, what was the average height for humans back then?

I’m building a 3D printer right now.

Get back to me when you can print a ham sammich and a six-pack of beer.

What did they scan to get the eye color and lip shape?

The DNA for the eye color and skin tones, the skull for the basic features adding known statistics of tissue thicknesses over key points, and known muscle attachment points and shapes. The article acknowledges that some of the soft tissues are not unambiguously defined by the skull, most notably the corners of the eyes, tip of the nose, shape of the nostrils, and shape and fullness of the lips.
How accurate those are is a function of the skill of the person doing the reconstruction.
Forensic reconstructions of modern remains have yielded busts that vary from looking like a photograph of the now identified person, to ‘close enough’ for a loved one to recognize.
I suppose some are far enough away that they aren’t recognized at all, but the success rate is still pretty good.

From what I recall he doesn’t look very different than he did 20 years. Except darker. Why?
He opted for P.C???
Lordy, Just tell the truth.
