Reconstructed skull of a hunter-gatherer man found in Bonn, Germany, dated to around 14.000 years old. Strong Cro-magnon heritage.
Here is the original.
The skull of another hunter-gatherer from northern part of Europe
The Koelbjerg individual, Denmark, dated c. 8500 cal BC, hunter-gatherer
Front and lateral view of Ripari Villabruna's skull, oldest as of yet known individual to possess the R1b haplogroup, as well as blue eyes.
Around 14.000 years old. Hunter-gatherer. Found in modern day Italy.
A decorated skull of a Yamnaya man 3300–2600 BC.
Skulls and facial reconstructions of Pompeii eruption victims, roughly 2000 years old
Skull of roman solider (1st century)
Skull of a black death victim from the outbreak in 1348 and 1349.
Skull from a sunken ship called Mary Rose, sank on 19th July 1545.
This is the skull a guy from the 16th century, supposedly a pirate.
A reconstruction of a face of a medieval man, around 600 years old
Skull of a solider from the Napoleonic wars
Average skull today
Direct comparisons:
Also I found this study: https://www.nature.com/articles/4813122 which compared skulls from the middle ages to ours and found that, on average, modern human skulls have a larger cranial vault (higher forehead), a shorter mandible (softer jaw), and a slightly more obtuse mandibular angle (smoother jaw) compared to those from the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Draw your own conclusions.
