How did they infer a receding hairline from the bones.

Kind of surprising a bone can fossilize in only 10,000 years.

Good point! And somehow they know he kept his beard neatly trimmed.

Fossilization doesn't take even that long, given the right conditions.

Use of the term “fossil” is pretty fast and loose where mammals are concerned. “Fossils” of mammal bones, and especially genus Homo bones, are almost always just the bones... no mineralization to speak of, but just the actual remnants of the once-living tissue.

I might point out that the man on the right in this photo has JUTTING JAWS, FLARING CHEEKS, and a RECEDING HAIRLINE
