or any of the many species and lineages of archaic hominin you would recognize them immediately as your evolutionary cousin.

And those skulls were often more of an oblong than a sphere like ours is, with broad noses and large nostrils. Most ancient humans had jaws that were considerably more robust than ours, too, likely a reflection of their hardy diets.
Most archaic hominins were a bit shorter, as well, though a few groups were thought to approach average human height.
