Neanderthal Style

[moon_custafer]

Another article on how Neanderthals were likely more sophisticated than people think; which makes me wonder why the reconstructions always show them with hair like ‘90s grunge rockers. Why wouldn’t they have braided it, or cut it short, or slicked it with mud or mammoth grease? Or worn some kind of head-coverings?

It’s a matter of practicality as much as aesthetics – though if, as the article suggests, Neanderthals were also making themselves feathered vulture-skin capes, I’d say they were all about the Aesthetic as well.

C'mon, who would pair these Looks?

I am delighted by this idea.

I'd wear it. The white girl dreads less so.
