[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [qb] Journal of the University of Sao Paulo says [QUOTE]In addition to the scientific publications, the new genetic data also allowed to create a new face for the old population of Lagoa Santa. Forensic reconstruction expert Caroline Wilkinson's proposal from Liverpool John Moores University in England is based on information from the article published Thursday in Cell. The new image was created from the retroformed digital skull model of the archaeological site of Lapa do Santo and brings a face, it is expected, more accurate of the first inhabitants of Brazil.[/QUOTE]Google xlation [/qb][/QUOTE]Is the above a reasonable statement or not? This particular statement does not mention Luzia. As regards to Luzia there are two or more different interpretations possible of other non-journal articles and that should not be the case in my opinion a) [b]the Luzia reconstruction is accurate[/b] but this individual is not representative of the ancient population of Lagoa Santa OR b) [b]the Luzia reconstruction is not accurate[/b] The Skull structure is the foundation of a reconstruction but alone cannot predict every aspect of how the person might have looked DNA evidence, it's ethnological associations is also considered by forensic artists in reconstructing soft tissue features not informed by the skull. New DNA has come to light and has shown the Luzia reconstruction's features to be incorrect ______________________________ The following is my interpretation of these skulls>> Both reconstructions are legitimate. More than one type of skull was found in Lagoa Santa. The reason for this unknown. DNA was not recoverable from the Luzia skull . [/QB][/QUOTE]
