What did early humans look like???

I want to know what humans looked like thousands of years ago. Did they look similar to now. Did they have the same hairline pattern and beard and hairloss pattern. Did they have eyes, nose, mouth, ears and get gray hair and everything else like what most humans look like. Are humans related and another animal thats similar. what did early humans look lke. How old is male pattern baldness and how long has it been in history. Do other animals and early humans have similar features.

Good question.

Humans, in general terms, will have looked similar to how they do today; beards and all. Humanity might have lost much of its body hair before leaving africa, as an adaptation to the heat there. Subsequently, wearing clothes has meant that we have not had a pressure to become hairier again.

However, this is conjecture - hair does not fossilise well, so it is difficult to be certain about how hairy any perhistoric animals were, including Homo erectus (Homo sapiens' immediate precursor).

Now, since the life expectancy of primitive man would have been much lower than now - baldness would have been rarer (men won't often have lived long enough to go bald). The same is true of grey hairs, of course.

Meerkats.

How long you want to go, back?

If it's only "thousands of years ago" you might want to consult Grecian or Roman art.. or Egyptian or Mexican or Chinese/Japanese to get an accurate read. Because that answer is: 'same as today, only now we have better clothing and more expensive shoes'. What's the difference? only the average HEIGHT which has risen... and the age-life expectancy (you were really old %26amp; wise, at 40+).

If you go back 10,000s of years... you know what Homo Sapiens and Neanthethals look like... and 100,000s of years, you should already know that people looked like littler people, only with more hair.. like an ape. (And sure, any variations about hair, blindness, eye color, etc. would all have been varables all along the way, too. Especially when human ancestors moved away from each other.)

My guess (and believe me that science is guesswork, then finding clues to support the guesses)... is a Meerkat-like creature would = early humans.
