"I thought it could be an interesting idea to twist this a bit, and actually thinking that she can see us. And as you can see, she looks a bit critical to us (I don't blame her for that...)!"

Yep, just gotta insert politics into science.

Was pretty political when they took the remains of a ancient Scottish woman, an area closer to the arctic circle, where the sun doesn't rise on the winter solstice, than most of non-nordic Europe, and made her black. From a time before such migration would have occurred and before most European civilizations had any contact with the Mediterranean, and the people would have naturally had fair skin due to the lower sunlight intensity.

Like this is the stuff that fuels the white supremacist fear mongering about white replacement.

What brazen racism from this article and the artist who reconstructed the skull.

Yet more blackwashing of European history and people's by journalists and historians claing objectivity, but being no more than political activists.

"but the team wasn't able to extract her DNA, so her ethnic heritage, including her skin, eye and hair color, is unknown."

So they decide to blackwash her...Because that's the fashion and current politics: re-write history and create a fake history of a black Europe to justify current political and aims.

Would they take a 4000 year old Skull from China and make them blond haired and white? Or a 4000 year old skull from Australia and make them look Arab?

No: because that would be racist and race-washing a people's history. But blackwashing European history and people's is OK because that's what they wish for the future.

So disappointed to read what was done here. Wasted work, talent & time spent to produce a fantasy work. Why?

This reconstruction flies in the face of what is known about the Beaker folk. The Bell Beaker folk actually altered the face of Britain. Prior to the BB migration, Britains had deep olive skin and brown eyes. As much as 90% of that original group's DNA was superceded by that of the Bell Beaker folk. The later Beaker migration from central Europe carried Steppe herder ancestry and those of the Steppes were actally lighter skinned with brown hair and either blue or brown eyes.

So we can tell if someone was male or female just from looking at their bones? Does the media know this? Where did white people come from? Apparently no where on Earth.

Being a bit of a drama queen aren't you?

"White" skin is simply a mutation from lack of melanin. According to the bible, the first instance is from the story of Esau. Otherwise, historically, all peoples are descendants of Africa. So, if you are "white", you are a mutant! If so, welcome to the club

If you would have kept reading, the article also states: "However, he was clear that "the colors were all qualified guesses, based on other burials from the time and the region, where the DNA was in better shape than this one." No one is intentionally "blackwashing" lol.

Sweden has lied about artifacts before by claiming that Islam was always part of Sweden and it's history. Oh course it was debunked immediately. It's not surprising that they would lie again. And if to don't think that there is such a thing as the replacement theory then you must have your head up your butt. Even the leftists know it and applaud it. So it's not a. White supremacy thing. Stop that narrative now.

You're dead on. Like cheddar man. Out of Africa theory has been debunked. No one seems to notice.

If that's true, why would they go with what they did? No, this was intentional

I'm not sure why everyone is so hysterical about her not appearing "white" (whatever that is), but you guys need to relax. You sound pretty racist.

I guess you don't know that female and male pelvic bones are different enough that, yes, you really can tell the difference.
