This could be your cousin Neandra who lived 30 000 or more years ago.
From freckles and blemishes to staring glass eyes, hyper-realistic models of early hominids are now providing an eerie way of coming face-to-face with our ancient ancestors and distant cousins.

Incredible. When you hear those nutters going on about the Earth being 6000 old I get the urge to give them a ding around the ear.

Love that bead covering she has on her hair but people will have me committed when I start wearing something like that. 😆
Beautiful face structure. I sure as hell did not inherit anything like that. 😛

I don’t believe there is any evidence that she did wear the beads in her hair but the artist admits she had problems with hair and I know they found beads where they used to live – so why not?
Did that actress in a movie I think it was called 10 not wear beads? Go for it Sonel you may land up with Oscar in the same institution *evil laugh*
