As an aside: I always wanted to see if anyone checks the accuracy of these forensic artists’ abilities by giving them a skull from a person whose appearance is already known and then compare that reconstruction to an actual photograph. Like, if I gave a forensic artist a 3D print of Elvis’ skull without telling them who it was would the result be recognizable as Elvis?
Not that I think they’re just making it up as they go along or anything, just that it would be nice to have an idea how much leeway we should expect from the reconstructions.
