Why they look so angry, is it because people did not smile in photos back then?
Cool.
Their expessions make me think the photographer was exposing himself in an indecent way when he took the photi.
Fresh of the boat.

The /s was really not enough huh smoothbrains
didnt early europeans have lighter eyes already or did that come later too?
This photo needs to be shared more, there is nothing more pleasing for ears than hearing the panicked screeching of triggered racists.
Edit: ok, now I don’t understand what’s the downvotes for. Are there really so many racists on r/europe?

Oh the comments are going to interesting aren’t they
This may be a stupid question but how do we know the skin color of these people?
why are they black? (serious question)
Bloody immigrants coming here, setting down the roots of our collective civilization.

People played billiards back then?
Impressive arms on the center girl
Were they like sapiens or neanderthals?
What was the climate in Europe like back then? Would doggerland have been there? This kind of stuff is so interesting.
I suppose you know you’re a mum when the first thing you think is “yay, baby wearing!”🙈😂
I love facial reconstruction so much—just being able to glimpse into the past and see what people probably looked like (I know it’s not 100% perfect) is so amazing ☺️
This is what they call racebaiting on 4chan.
70%… interesting…
Quite ugly.
Proud of the evolutionary progress we have made since then.
They are so angry because their husbands went for a pack of cigarettes 4 years before the picture was taken
I’m 100% sure they where not modern day African. It makes 0% sense since it basically says Africans didn’t evolve.
Which is ironic because the author clearly tired to be progressive yet made it like Africans are the least evolved race and stuck in stone age.
What happened to these people? Most of our languages derive from Proto-Indo-European. Did the PIE’s drive out these people? Or conquer them and impose their language on them?
I would guess that our understanding of those times are fairly limited to make any conclusions.

A lot of science publications were eager in promoting the idea that fairly recent Europeans were essentially black, but this was based on [bad, or at least incomplete, science](https://www.newscientist.com/article/2161867-ancient-dark-skinned-briton-cheddar-man-find-may-not-be-true/). The more common thinking now is that people of this era had a skin tone more similar to modern Middle Eastern populations.
The reason as to why you likely haven’t heard about this change in thinking is because some outlets are fearful that it would embolden far-right extremists, [seriously](https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23731673-200-does-cheddar-man-show-there-is-such-a-thing-as-bad-publicity/).
Weren’t Neanderthals in Europe ~200K years before Aurignacian people?
Huh we have them even now… In Stolipinovo or Fakulteta.
I don’t think this is accurate…
Didn’t even have to sort by controversial lol
