Watercolor and digital artist. Fascinated by paleontology and human evolution. Twitter is my primary platform for my digital works and paleoart.

@FossilBonanza The human figure seems to have neanderthal proportions which makes the size comparisons even more interesting

@FossilBonanza @ChrisStringer65 I thought ivory-billed woodpecker when I first saw the illustration

@ChrisStringer65 This article references the ‘Answers in Genesis’ Creation Museum. In addition, creationists use some of the same ideas knocking paleoart as this article does. Casting doubt on the validity of sime hominin reconstructions is used to cast doubt on human evolution in general.

@Qafzeh @FieldMuseum My photo taken at Chicago's field museum. Being a huge fan of Hominin reconstruction, I was surprised and thrilled to see Daynes work that also included a Neanderthal construction

@LeMoustier @Qafzeh Your book is one of my favorite (audible) and inspired me to try drawing a female neanderthal for the first time.

@FossilHistory I understand the depiction is outdated and I draw Neanderthals with more humanity, but i still love these older interpretations ever since I was a kid in the sixties.

@RichardDawkins I was surprised at the support Dawkins got from many in the audience-then I remembered this isn't an American audience.
