Face Reconstructed for 3.7-Million-Year-Old Hominin Little Foot
Researchers digitally reconstructed the crushed skull of Little Foot, a 3.67-million-year-old Australopithecus specimen, using high-resolution CT scans and a five-block 3D reassembly to estimate its original facial structure; the result suggests eastern African affinities and distinctive orbital features, but the exact species classification remains uncertain and the reconstruction is considered preliminary.
