LONDON - A face that summarizes the physical features with African, Asian and European ones here as they appeared the first humans arrived in Europe from Africa. The scientist Richard Neave, a British expert forensic anatomy, has built a sort of model of the first modern humans who inhabited Europe. According to radiocarbon dating conducted, remains that started Neave date back about 35,000 years ago , a date that would coincide with the first waves of migration of Homo Sapiens (appeared about 200,000 years ago in East Africa) to Europe.
THE TECHNIQUE OF RECONSTRUCTION - Using an incomplete skull and jaws found in a cave of the Romania, Neave has completely reconstructed the skull and soft tissues, playing in the clay face of our ancestors arrived in the Old Continent at the time Homo sapiens still coexisted with Neanderthal man. According to experts, are the molar teeth, particularly large, suggesting that this is one of the first members of the Sapiens, as is known, then had the upper hand in the evolutionary struggle between two different species. Dark eyes and a cut of very oriental, the model of the first modern humans arrived in Europe was created specially for the series The Incredible Human Journey, which will be broadcast on BBC 2.
THE FACE OF CLAY - In this moment the reconstruction is in the clay studio anthropologist Alice Roberts, University of Bristol, which will kick off the British broadcasting. Roberts is said to emotion: "look at him and think that he lived 35,000 years ago is very strong emotion." But beyond the emotion, the work of Neave could be of great importance to trace the earliest traces of human race and guess the mechanisms of its evolution. The play, despite its inevitable approximations, is considered very reliable: in fact, Richard Neave is a leading expert in the physiognomy of reproductions human and his resume boasts other famous reconstructions, such as the face of Philip II of Macedonia.
