Reconstructions of Paleolithic Europeans are few and far between. Almost no modern reconstructions have been produced, so I had to rely on older facial reconstructions, mostly the works of M. M. Gerasimov. So far, I’ve found reconstructions of individuals belonging to the Aurignacian, Gravettian, and Magdalenian cultures and will add any new discoveries to this article whenever I find them.
Genetic evidence indicates that the populations of Europe belonged to a broader “West Eurasian” genetic cluster before the Last Glacial Maximum (~30,000 to ~15,000 BC). West Eurasians diverged into more genetically distinct groups due to founder effects and environmental adaptation during the Last Glacial Maximum, which spanned the Gravettian and late Aurignacian periods.
Aurignacian (41,000 – 26,000 BC)
Cro-Magnon 1 (France 26,000 BC)
Gravettian (31,000 – 17,000 BC)
Sungir 1 (Russia 30,000 BC)
Sungir 2 (Russia 30,000 BC)
Note: Has a jaw abnormality resulting in prognathism that was uncharacteristic of Paleolithi Europeans.

Sungir 3 (Russia 30,000 BC)
Oberkassel (25,000 BC)
Dolní Věstonice 3 (Czechia 25,000 BC)
Note: Skin pigmentation is incorrect, was likely more similar to modern inuits as “white skin” alleles SLC24A5 and SLC45A2 were not present in Europe at this time.
Venus of Brassempouy (France 25,000 BC)
Young Prince of Arene Candide (Italy 25,000 BC)
Dolní Věstonice ivory self-portrait (Czechia 24,000 BC)
Artistic interpretations of Gravettian clothing:
Magdalenian (15,000 – 10,000 BC)
Magdalenian Girl (France 13,000 BC)
Note: Again, pigmentation is incorrect, probably similar to modern Inuits.
Oberkassel (12,000 BC)
Do you have any more to say about the Venus Brassempuoy, I wonder?

Ah, yes, fair enough. Would you, then? It’s something I’m interested in. You seem to know a great deal more about the hard sciences involved in such things than I do. So I was hoping you might have resources or insights you would be willing to share.

nah, that crude joke was all I had to add on the matter
as for the reconstruction it was created by an artist who did a lot of cool gravettian paintings, I forgot the name though. I dont know anything else that isnt on the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Brassempouy

I know Libor Balak is an artist who does good Venus stuff. There’s a book by a Frenchman – Jean Markale, “The Great Goddess” which is a decent read that is also to a surprising degree unsubverted (not without ideological bents, mind you.) But that’s definitely more in the Speculative Science category, although he does site plenty of anthropology and archaeology to try and support some of his ideation. I have a review of it in my backlog, if anyone is ever particularly bored.

Crazy how similar they looked to us even so many thousands of years ago despite not being “Aryan”, but rather pre-Aryan. Shows that when the Aryan invasions of Europe occurred, it was their kindred whom they conquered, unlike all the other lands which they conquered. This is part of the reason why I have a problem with referring to our race as the “Aryan” race, and why I prefer “White race”.

Hi Thuletide,
Can you do an article specifically giving your take on Leftist claims that ”White” isn’t a valid racial category since Italians weren’t considered White whereas Chinese were???
I ask since this bullcrap is why scum like Shaun claim ”European History isn’t White History” since White had no set definition and only began being used recently. The nutcase also claims Rome was like 30% Non-White.
Lefties love saying the whole trinity of ”White included or excluded X, it only began being used recently, besides Europe was ultra-diverse anyways!” baloney.
It’s all so tiresome, Mr Thule…

Since Rome was the imperial capital, it got migrated into from non-European parts of the empire. Juvenal wrote that “the Syrian Orontes has long since polluted the Tiber”. It doesn’t seem to have made much long-term impact on Italian genetics, though. Here are a few references about it:

Sure, there are some peculiarities of where to draw the line. (Keep reading this site for clarification on that.) However, the idea that Italians weren’t considered White is bullshit made up by (((Noel Ignatiev))). if Italians weren’t considered White, then they wouldn’t have been let into the country until 1965.

I just want to say how much I appreciate the work you do. I have learned a tremendous amount from your articles. Obviously, that is why you are being attacked. I hope you will continue to devote the majority of your time and energy to your work and moving forward with disseminating truth.

I ask you thuletide, to make a collection of your essays available in an actual printed book. A good book will be here in a hundred years & I fear that the internet is fleeting even if far reaching. Swap & change a few words here & there and use a nom de plume if need be but for the sake of preservation … get it down. A plea from the future. Your words are worth keeping amongst this blizzard. They might seem common place to you, believe me their truth is getting rare out here.
