- mac3n 2y agonow, run that through an AI face de-ager!
- ghostly_s 2y agoOh, facial bones. Now Im less confused. I think the layman would call that a skull fragment.
- dzdt 2y agoAgreed. I was the same place: do they mean an imprint of a face? Or a partially preserved ancient artwork? No, they mean fossilised bone fragments comprising upper mouth and cheekbone areas of a human skull.
- BrenBarn 2y agoYeah I was confused as well. "Face" isn't really a body part, it's more of a perceptual unit. It's just a piece of the front of someone's head.
