I’ll bet if youy gave the structure to five different “experts”, they’d be so different, you’d discount this whole area of “expertdom”

Y’all be nice now. I’m from West Virginia, and most of my kin look like that. Come to think of it, we’ve been looking for Uncle Karl for a while now.

Oetzi has the same yDNA haplogroup (’K’) as Thomas Jefferson.

Should have read ‘created’......not ‘recreate’. Implies knowing what he really looked like. BTW....I saw this guy on the corner last week. He had a sign that said “Will work for Beer.”
