This is my reconstruction of a young male Homo sapiens from around 33,000 years ago whose skeletal remains were found at the site of Nazlet Khater in southern Egypt. Lesions found in his vertebrae and limb bones suggest he was involved in intensive quarrying for stone to use for tools. Since his skull’s facial features show similarities to peoples from much more southerly areas in the African continent, I went with a South Sudanese appearance for him, but his black kohl eyeliner is meant to evoke later Nile Valley makeup traditions.
