Zlatý kůň Woman In Color

This is my second reconstruction of the Zlatý kůň woman who lived in the area of the Czech Republic around 43,000 years ago. She would represent some of the earliest Upper Paleolithic human settlers to colonize Eurasia from Africa, although analysis of her genome suggests she was ancestral neither to European nor Asian people today and descended from a population predating the West/East Eurasian split. Contrary to some other artistic reconstructions of this specimen, it is likely that, as relatively recent arrivals in Europe, she and her people had retained dark skin from their African ancestors.
