Togger1 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I love this so much, mainly because of the type of cage it will rattle. and judging by the negative feedback it's working beautifully 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Fugs, your first link was really interesting and I must remember to set my v-box t record the programme. It's clever how scientists and their new methods can gain so much more form DNA samples and skeleton profiles these days. I often wonder just how accurate the facial reconstructions are though as I still have the same skeleton and skull that I had years ago but I look so different now than I did 30 years ago. If I'm dug up 10,000 years from now I;d love to be able to peep and see what they think I looked like just from examining my bone remains Fascinating stuff and I must say Cheddar Man does look more 'normal' in their latest reconstruction to my eyes though even though they say he doesn't look like any of us. I clearly need sleep as all I can think of now is why does everyone all have the same colour skeletons ? I guess we all just little 'presents' wrapped up in different coloured wrappers ....No doubt someone will come back and tell me a bright blue skeleton was dug up at some medieval site once by the Time Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backwith Fusiliers and I had a good wash and brush up before I attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
