Notice the raised nose and protruding chin.

At first glance, each of the girl's outfits looks the same. However, they are all unique.

Traditional female folk costumes in my opinion have a very profound meaning and influence and you can judge a country's cultural strength by how frequently women wear them.

These folk costumes are very expensive. Many times they are inherited from mother to daughter through generations. They go back hundreds even thousands of years in design.

I mean, there is just something immediately recognizable about those dresses aren't there? Femininity, beauty, tradition. It says "wife me up". I'd say a woman who has a form of traditional wear is good relationship material.

Quote:The origins of our species might need a rethink. An analysis of an ancient skull from China suggests it is eerily similar to the earliest known fossils of our species –found in Morocco, some 10,000 kilometres to the west. The skull hints that modern humans aren’t solely descended from African ancestors, as is generally thought.

The thing is, when the so called Cro-Magnon cultures - the first culturally modern man - show up, they do so suddenly and only in the West.



If I look at this map, I'd think Cro-Magnon was a coastal, seafaring culture, wouldn't you agree?

At this time, all other humans are primitive, while Cro-Magnon creates magnificent art, does brain surgery, builds permanent houses and weaves cloth.

Cro-Magnon is also far different from other races of men at this time. He is taller, stronger, bigger brained. A larger brain than any living population.

The areas with cro-magnon artifacts were in fact the bulk of the temperate, green areas that existed in Eurasia at the time. Northern Europe was covered by the polar icesheet, and the land strip below that was a tundra. Iberia, southern France and North Africa were just about the only temperate forest areas.

^ That could explain it.

The last map, I am not sure of the haplogroups belonging to those locations.
