@ancestralwhispersdotorg: Facial Reconstruction of a 3,400-Year-Old Proto-Scythian Man ancestralwhispers.org Discovered at the Chernovaya site at Minusinsk, Siberia, this individual belonged to the Karasuk culture - one of the primary genetic contributors to the population that would later become the Scythians. This culture is also likely responsible for the Iranic language of the Scythians. The Karasuk population predominantly belonged to the brachycranial type of the Europoid race. Although some Mongoloid admixture was present in the Karasuk skull series, its proportion was relatively insignificant. He is depicted with a bronze dagger typical of the Karasuk culture; similar types of daggers have been found in Shang China. The contemporary Deer Stone culture was influenced by the Karasuk culture. Among the deer stone stelae, the animal depictions are sometimes interpreted as tattoos. Later, similar animal-style tattoos were found on Scythian mummies. The cranial series from Minusinsk Karasuk individuals were robust, with an average cranial length of 183 mm, cranial width of 147 mm, and cheekbone width of 140 mm. #phenotype #ancientdna #genetics #ancestry #anthropology #skull #huntergatherer #steppeherder #scythian #scythia #indoeuropean #looksmax #looksmaxx
