You're right, let me rephrase: do we learn something from this reconstructions, are they useful for historical research?
I'm not arguing against this thing, I'm genuinely curious.

I never understood what is the point of these "facial reconstruction". I mean they're Homo Sapiens like us, it's not like they had different looks. Do they have a scientific value?

I think most "italian-americans" don't have any real cultural tie with Italy a part for having an italian sounding surname, for most of them won't change anything.
