Cheddar Man reconstruction process. Illustration of the stages (left to right) in the reconstruction of the facial, head and upper body appearance of Cheddar Man (Homo sapiens), based on the complete male skeleton found in Gough's Cave, Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, UK. The fossils date to 9000 years ago. The skeleton was discovered in 1903 and is the UK's oldest complete human skeleton. The reconstruction process starts with the bone structure, identifies the attachment sites for muscles, and builds up the tissues layers to produce the final appearance, including skin and hair.
