AI Hominin Facial Reconstruction

AI Hominin Facial Reconstruction

Hominin facial reconstruction based on a personal photo of a Neanderthal skull cast from the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC, USA. Credits to Google Gemini for helping to generate this reconstruction.

I wanted to call it a Neanderthal facial reconstruction, especially since it is based on a Neanderthal skull, and image ID searches point me back to Neanderthals. But I know there were other hominin species, and I'm no expert in anthropology / paleoanthropology. From a visual standpoint, I can tell Gemini had to improvise many details to go from a bare skull to a lifelike face with skin & hair. So to err on the side of the caution, I went with Hominin as more of a catch-all. Otherwise impressed the job Gemini did 👍
