Although "Cap & the Neandertals" sounds like a sweet indie band, in fact it is UniversitätZürich-based research program of computer-assisted palaeoanthropology - in English, that means using computers for forensic reconstruction of skulls.
I know, you don't care from forensics except that cute ass on [csi]. But before you ignore this site, just check out the sample reconstruction of [gibraltar2] H. neandertalensis, a Neandertal child found at Devil's Tower. Unbelievable: that is the face of an sentient creature, probably able to reason and speak as well as human beings can, who died over 30.000 years ago. Think about that. That is someone's face - and if you do know from forensic programs, you know how eerily accurate those reconstructions can be.
Go to the main page and see how they did it. Now that you are hooked, that is.
