thought the same thing when I saw that "reconstruction": "It's king Farquad!" (sp?)


Seriously, I can understand the process of adding musculature, fat, skin, etc to a skull. What I can't understand is how they determine the amounts to feel that they have the right to say "this is what he looked like!" Maybe the guy had a giant ski-jump nose (no cartilage preserved) Maybe he had jowls? perhaps he had a fat face, or droopy ears, or whatever. At least with Dinos they get the occasional fossilized imprint in mud to get some skin texture or feather or an outline or something.

No, that's not him. That's playing dress-ups on someone's skull.
 

seriously?.. the fuck?
