Women 500,000 years ago apparently shaved under their arms!

Is it just me or is this a ridiculous “artist’s impression” of a recently discovered pre-human species 500,000 years ago? Grin

I mean, come on - are we supposed to believe that the women among the Homo bodoensis stood around posing sexily with their underarms all neatly shaven? Or should we just assume the artist was a bloke?

Her pose was the first thing I noticed when I saw this.
Knew immediately it was drawn by a man.

Ettore looks quite young, maybe he’s never seen a woman with bushy armpits!

Surely a benefit of that pronounced a brow is that you don't need to use your hands to shade your eyes?

Poor artist, I mean you are right and all but as an artist I can just imagine getting silly stuff wrong too cringe

At least he hasn't gone for the spine breaking comics poses which try to show off both breasts and bum in the same pose. A phenomenon best ridiculed through Noelle Stevenson's Hawkeye Initiative where she encouraged people to draw the male character in the ridiculously sexualised poses drawn for "strong" female characters. And shared them together with the original.

I may not have credited that right, I was going by Google.

Well she's got a fictional porn pose going on hasn't she? Her body is twisted but miraculously no twisting is visible on her torso because it would spoil the effect.

Why did no one laugh at this fool and point this out to him before he published?

The artistic version of "She boobed boobily down the stairs" 😂

Never seen this before but now I want to ask or even demand that every man in a movie must play the part in as similar a wardrobe as the women.
I bet Ryan Reynolds would be up for it. It might also make male directors think twice before putting all the women in such skimpy outfits.

Those drawings are really weird. The artist doesn't seem to realise that as well as the skull shape being different the body shape would also be different. They all look like modern naked people wearing full head masks.

These are pre-humans. They had more ape-like anatomy than us. Making the female look like a sexy curvy non-hairy human doesn't make sense.

Those boobs look like they have seen enough and are leaving now.

She looks like she’s posing waiting for showers, shower gel and shower gel adverts to be invented.

LoislovesStewie · 29/10/2021 12:23

I thought she was washing her hair!

To be fair the man seems to be fully shaven as well, not even a hint of any stubble.

AlfonsoTheUnrepetant · 29/10/2021 13:03

I think the artist misunderstood the name of the species as "homo boobsrus".

ArabellaScott · 29/10/2021 20:00

Homo bodacious

Homo bootylicious

Homo hubbahubba

Lol I saw this and thought exactly the same thing. Seems like underarm hair us too disgusting on females, even for a pre-human species.

MrGHardy · 29/10/2021 20:13

The Neanderthals had a lot more hair than we do, the australopithecus was basically like modern primate cousins. These are more developed/recent humans, but I dare say there is a lot of hair missing, not just under the armpits.
