This one reminds me of Zdzislaw Beksinski. And yes, I do have to look his name up every time I want to spell it, because I will never remember it…

“Ross, Ubelaker and Kimmerle found that craniofacial differences between contemporary men and women are less pronounced than they were in the 16th century. The researchers also found that, while craniofacial features for both sexes in Spain have changed over time, the changes have been particularly significant in females. For example, the facial structure of modern Spanish females is much larger than the structure of 16th century females. This difference may stem from improved nutrition or other environmental factors.”

For some reason, I’ve always been fascinated by the fact that people used to be smaller than they are now. I think they need to play this up in the next movie about traveling back in time, because no one ever does. They could cast tall actors for the characters from the future and make them have trouble finding clothes that fit, bumping heads on door frames, etc. IDK, I would get a kick out of it, at least. :)

“
Mr Mowatt uncovered the tomb in the garden of Skerries bistro and self catering cottages. He said: “There is a big slab of stone about eight foot by eight foot and I had always wondered what was underneath it. I had a bit of time at the end of the summer and I thought I would take a look.”
Mr Mowatt, who runs a boat business, pushed a piece of wire down a hole at the side of the stone and discovered a cavern underneath it. He then pushed down a rod attached to an underwater camera he used for looking at wrecks and discovered a chambered cairn with skulls against the edge.
“I have never really been that interested in archaeology, but when the rod went down into the chamber I could not leave it alone, my blood was pumping when I got a torch. Carole and I looked inside and saw the skull sitting in the murky water.
”— Neolithic tomb found in Scottish garden extremely significant
