Each face revealed something the others missed.

The forensic face showed what rigorous anatomical method can produce from a skull.

The hyperrealistic silicone face showed what skilled artistic interpretation can add — the presence and specificity of a particular person.

The virtual face showed what computational reproducibility can provide — and also where the limits of modern reference databases create divergence from ancient reality.

And together, as the geometric morphometric comparison quantified, they revealed something none of them alone could have shown: the precise extent of the gap between the skull and the face, and the shape of what we do not know.

That gap is not a failure of science.
