I'm going to post this again as today is day.

Anyone know their flint? Wondering if these were scrapers or not. The one of the left does have a piece shaved out which fits very nicely with my left thumb. But it might just be a fluke.

I have long wondered about the body shapes of prehistoric finds like the of . From today's perspective, I would assume that there were actually no obese people in the . But since the figures are very close to life, there must have been really fat people at that time. Surely others have also thought about it. What are some thoughts about this? How can it be that Ice Age people knew obese body shapes so well?

It's apparently day. So feel free to do just that. I'm ready! (Questions regarding Indian Ocean Trade or coastal East Africa will likely get answers)

@Gonzalo @archaeodons As far as Okinawa is concerned, things are changing too and the reconstruction of the appearance of the "Minatogawa Man" has been changed recently to fit the fact that he was genetically closer to populations of Southeast Asia rather than mainland Asia (China). Both the reconstructions are on display at the Prefectural Museum, with explanation that science is constantly in progress.

@Gonzalo @archaeodons Well, I personally have left Europe for too long to know exactly how museums behave nowadays, but I do remember some headlines in the recent years about museums having changed their visuals to fit DNA analyses for hair, eye colour and skin tones.

@berangere444 @archaeodons Hi! I would like to take advantage of the day. I would like to know why *most* of the museum visual interpretations of people are still portraying white males? How do you react to this kind of parallel reality? Also, do you have any reading recommendation to learn about how whites are normalized in the ? Thanks!
