She Has Been Dead For 45,000 Years. In 2026, Three Different Scientists Gave Her Three Different Faces — And Each One Revealed Something The Others Missed
Different alleles — variants — at these genes have been mapped to different pigmentation phenotypes in modern populations, and ancient genomes can be checked for which alleles they carry.
By the time the 2026 reconstruction study was published, the genomic evidence indicated that Zlatý kůň likely had dark or very dark skin.
Dark eyes — brown, not blue or green.
Dark hair.
The pigmentation alleles found in her genome were ancestral variants — the versions that were common in early anatomically modern humans before the selection pressures that produced lighter skin pigmentation in European and East Asian populations had time to act.
This was consistent with other ancient European genomes of comparable age.
