text: there is no way to explain this? have you ever looked at old pictures and thought that people's faces looked different then than they do now, as if certain faces can only be found in certain times or eras? i think that is mainly because of the picture quality, hygene of the era, styles and haircuts of the era, etc.  i think if those people were to have an "extreme makeover", you would find they would most likely look perfectly normal (although people had a lot worse healthcare back then, so they might still not look quite normal due to whatever illnesses that had previously suffered)
