Lost and Not Found

Various stuff. Mainly broadcasting my musical taste into the void. Bad English may occur.

I stuck to 7 mm over the brow ridges for my own Bodo reconstruction, but it still looks like he's wearing a flat cap.

[Lost and Not Found @chaosdrifter93]

Fun fact: for this one, Gerasimov increased the tissue depths over the supraorbital region to 12 mm (as in gorillas, based on his own research) instead of the standard human 5-7 mm. The cranium's brow ridges just seemed too non-human to him.

Mikhail Gerasimov: A Rhodesian man from Broken Hill (Zambia, Africa) 1953

Homo Rhodesiensis or African Heidelbergensis. Kabwe 1. Also called Broken Hill 1 @ChrisStringer65 @chaosdrifter93

[Lost and Not Found @chaosdrifter93]

He described his workflow on page 199 of his 1955 book Восстановление лица по черепу (Facial Reconstruction from the Skull). It’s on the Internet Archive in Russian. He actually considered this Rhodesian Man reconstruction preliminary, but unfortunately, never returned to it.

@SprayOnCopper @ChrisStringer65 @Zeke_Darwin Do you need more photos?

[Lost and Not Found @chaosdrifter93]

@SprayOnCopper @ChrisStringer65 @Zeke_Darwin What do you think about Mikhail Gerasimov's work?

[Lost and Not Found @chaosdrifter93]

@SprayOnCopper @Zeke_Darwin @ChrisStringer65 Done.
Unfortunately, the cranium is not currently in my possession. I might do the photogrammetry of it by the end of the year.

@shi_huang5 @SprayOnCopper @ChrisStringer65 @Zeke_Darwin @AnthropoTube @HighlyCitedX The alveolar part is mostly destroyed in Dali. But even if it truly lacked alveolar prognathism, that could still be because of intraspecific variation.

[Lost and Not Found @chaosdrifter93]

@SprayOnCopper @ChrisStringer65 @Zeke_Darwin @AnthropoTube @HighlyCitedX I’d honestly be really surprised if Dali turns out *not* to belong to the Denisovan lineage

@InterspeciesFa1 @SprayOnCopper Must be the reconstruction artifact imo

@SprayOnCopper Amazing. I never dared hope we'd see a 3D of any Sima finds but skull 5. Such a beautiful series.

[Lost and Not Found @chaosdrifter93]

@SprayOnCopper Great model. Printed one too, currently working on figuring out most appropriate mandible shape

Delving into those Japanese anti-piracy threads was a huge mistake. I really, really hope not all Japanese people are like that and that it’s just a loud minority.

Anyway, French bro, your comment is the best I've seen in all those threads.

@ranmaru_0u0 One of the many reasons is that auto translation for languages from distant families (e.g., Japanese - any European language) is worse than nothing.
Even Russian-English translation is still weak and both are Indo-European. Advanced AI only begins to solve this problem.

Destroying a library brings the dark ages.

@InterspeciesFa1 @CompellingDNA @SprayOnCopper Btw it seems there are also different reconstructions of the nasal bones. Noticed that while comparing the Bone Clones replica to the photos from the original publication. The latter has them more pushed inward at the nasion.

[Lost and Not Found @chaosdrifter93]

@CompellingDNA @InterspeciesFa1 @SprayOnCopper It's a matter of the viewing angle too. Turn it a little downward and you get a new picture.
The photo seems to be both perspective distortion + slightly more downward angle than strictly lateral view. The photo is also mirrored.

[Lost and Not Found @chaosdrifter93]

@SprayOnCopper @CompellingDNA @InterspeciesFa1 Yes, thank you a lot for releasing it. It seems to be very close to the physical cast. I hope you won't mind if I try making a sculptural facial approximation based on it?

[Lost and Not Found @chaosdrifter93]

@CompellingDNA @InterspeciesFa1 @SprayOnCopper Orthogonal view vs perspective view. Same ange, different impressions.
