Why are these never portrayed as it was? I mean half of them should be balding before age 25.

Why romantisize them? Show it as it was. looks at germanics today, lots of them have premature balding, take the Frisians for example. So if you draw their ancient ancestors, why not include it?
Same for other races, for example I would draw the Turks as balding and having massive amounts of body hair too. I go for realism.
>>78048645
You are probably right
because the hair makes them look like wild savages, which is point of the picture
being bald back then would have been nice
no lice
>>78048490
Half of them should be dead by age 30.
>>78048697
Why do they all look so generic?
>>78048603
got a problem?

Some of MY ANCESTORS :)))) might be closely related to picts (they're called 'Pictons')
>>78048837
Picts and pictones both mean "painted men". Meaning they were tatooed all over.

Because balding is for low testoterone betas
True men do not bald
>>78049198
it's kind of the opposite but yeah..
>>78049554
A myth made by butthurt baldies
>>78049198
it is the opposite, male pattern balding is caused by an excess of dihydrotestosterone, the metabolite of testosterone which is much more androgenic.
High test males bald early.
>>78049666
nonsense, low test high 5,alfa-reductase will cause MPB but increasing testosterone in those individuals will increase the balding even more, as the set of enzymes is fixed.
Which underlines my original point even more, that those romantic drawings you like to post, should have way more balding heads.
Also, I would like to point out that their diets were everything but perfect either, same for dental hygiene etc, so instead of those well fed male faces we should also see more monstrosities.

How can i be a woman ?
I have Body hair unlike baldies and women
>>78050018
Actually I'm 30+ and not even a reduced hairline. But then again I have superior Celto-Germanic genes. But I see a lot of the Germanic types here and they all bald early. For example pic related, the Netherlands (Holland) is full of these types.
>>78050326
As I said, I have perfect hairline, and I have no body hair at all.
Anyway, nothing against balding, my point was to make the drawings realistic and not devolving into 19th century type romanticism.

Look at this pic. Now give him a couple of scars and a pocked skin, picture a Suevian knot on the side of his head. And picture him in rags. VoilĂ : instant Frisian warrior from antiquity.
Also I bet crooked teeth were really common back then.

Well they would have had a harder diet, resulting in better jaw growth and whatnot
Remember that because of the faggot food we eat nowadays literally everyone has an overbite
