This is the first facial reconstruction from human remains excavated about a decade ago in south-central Sweden at Kanaljorden, a curious archaeological site where, sometime around 6,000 B.C., animal and human bones had been deliberately arranged on a submerged stone platform in the center of a small lake. 

The remains at Kanaljorden are unlike most other Scandinavian Mesolithic burials, which tend to be burials in the ground. Here, around 6,000 B.C., the crania of nine men and women were deliberately placed in the lake—perhaps all mounted on stakes—and interspersed with the jawbones (but not crania) of several local animal species, including wild boar, bear, deer, and badger.

Hannah Graffman, head of culture and leisure for Motala, said the reconstruction would give townspeople the opportunity to see what one of its earliest residents looked like.

The facial reconstruction was commissioned by the Charlottenborgs slott, a museum in the nearby town of Motala, where it goes on exhibit tomorrow.

How is it possible someone 8k years old looking pretty much identical to any modern hipster? 

Because 8000 years is small, evolutionary speaking :vegas:

People had blue eyes back then?

From the Independent:

"The mutations responsible for blue eye colour most likely originate from the north-west part of the Black Sea region, where the great agricultural migration of the northern part of Europe took place in the Neolithic periods about 6,000 to 10,000 years ago," the researchers report in the journal Human Genetics.

Given this time frame I guess there is a possibility he didn't actually have blue eyes.
