Ok I'm a bit rusty but I'm gonna go for rich white man here (the teeth are healthy, the jaw rather square, the shape of the nose seems to indicate an Eurasian background), and with a scale we could know if he was tall or short.

Ah ok, that's a relief! I studied paleontology, which is where I learnt stuff about skulls.
If you're into that field, I warmly recommend you the books of Philippe Charlier, the founder of paleopathology. He studied skeletons to determine which diseases they had- mostly historical figures but also a few random people and even animals. His books are enthralling.
Thanks for the tip! I love this subject. I'm studying archaeology in my free time, so rather slow-going. One of my favorite books is by Dr. William Maples "Dead Men do Tell Tales." Among other things he identified the remains of the murdered Romanovs back in the 90s.

Tanks!
But if you find this kind of knowledge dreamy, that's kinda concerning.
