Long ago we had a set of encyclopedias and the picture of Neanderthal man looked a lot like my Dad. I did the DNA thing and there is a tinge of Neanderthal in my DNA. I listed “fire-starter” on my resume.
Those two pictured have skin color more closely that of Levantine natives some 2100 years ago than the Caucasian Jesus European artists painted onto canvases. And USA pure heteronormative American White Jesus cult members these days (aka Christian nationalists) ain’t havin’ none of the reality implied by this toon, either, nossir!
The ancestors of h o m o e r e c t u s are a mixed bag. We got some good genes from Neanderthals. When the admixture had bad results, they did not last long.
They very well could have looked like that. Who am I to say how God created them to look. Probably not blue eyed blond. LOL. Just like David, Mary, and Jesus the Christ likely didn’t look Italian either.

And he wasn’t born in December either. The took a good pagan celebration, winter solstice, and changed it for their own benefit.

We are getting a better idea of what our ancestors looked like, but I personally believe we do them a disservice surrounding them with flies.
