TL;DR Summary

Brazilian experts have used digital imaging to reveal the face of an Egyptian man who lived 35,000 years ago. The team used the process of facial approximation, which helps archaeologists recreate the facial features of a deceased person using skeletal remains. The man's skeletal remains were identified as being of a man of African ancestry, aged between 17 to 29 years old at the time of his death. The experts hope their work will inform other archeologists' research on human evolution.
