@ancestralwhispersdotorg: Facial reconstruction of a Japanese man from the Edo period Shōken-ji with a cut off genital ancestralwhispers.org Either a townsman or a low-ranking samurai, he was gracile, with a medium-small cranial length of 170mm, small cranial breadth of 127mm, medium-small facial breadth of 127.5 mm, and his genital had been cut off. At the location of this cut mark, the arcuate pubic ligament attaches. Surrounding muscles include the ischiocavernosus, the left and right crus of the genital, the sphincter muscle of the urethra, and the transversus perinei profundus. Most importantly, this area marks the root of the genital. The observed cut marks suggest a series of slicing movements consistent with genital removal. Several possible explanations for this include: The man cut off his own genital with a sharp instrument (like a razor or knife). Someone else severed his genital while he held it in place. In both scenarios, the force of the sharp instrument was enough to damage the bone. The absence of healing indicates the genital was removed either at or soon after death. #phenotype #ancientdna #genetics #ancestry #anthropology #skull #huntergathererskull #farmerskull #japan #samurai #edo #looksmax #looksmaxx
