how ancients (CHG , Iran N , Anatolia N etc) likely looked like

Levantinesupremacist

Well-known member
He looks more exotic than an average non-ssa admixed saudi so natufians may have looked similar to this dude but something about his face is off. Gives south-asian-ish vibe
I honestly think he can pass better as East African than Indian tbh. He has strong Semitic features, associated with natufians

One dude that goes to my gym is Saudi student who kind of looks like him (I live near a huge college), but has much narrower features. I instantly knew he was Saudi/peninsular from a mile away. Ik u always try to say how levantines don’t look different from gulfies, but I can tell the difference very easily
When do I say that levantines look indistinguishable from gulf arabs

Nice. It seems that in the late mesolithic era, CHG was already quite widespread in the Caucasus judging by the fact that they inhabited NW Caucasus and not only SW Caucasus.
Nevermind. I did a little bit of research about the location of Grotto of Satanai and it seems that the site is located near Zestaponi, Imereti, Georgia. However, I couldn't find the exact coordinates of the site, which is fucked up

However I don't understand why on twitter they said that this CHG specimen was from NW Caucasus
