Scientists have reconstructed the face of a Mesolithic teenager, ‘Dawn,’ to show what people looked like around the year 7,000 BC.To do this, researchers took CT scans of the skull, which was discovered back in 1993 at Teopetra cave, according to National Geographic.Then, they used a 3D printer to make an exact replica based on the real measurements.Sculptor Oscar Nilsson then affixed pegs along the face, to show how thick her flesh was in certain regions, and map out the different features.The process incorporates data from the skull along with information about the general population in the region at the time she was alive.The incredible new reconstruction was unveiled at the Acropolis Museum on Friday, by a team of researchers from the University of Athens.Scientists have reconstructed the face of a Mesolithic teenager, ‘Dawn,’ to show what people looked like around the year 7,000 BC.
