we picture them in a more modern time

when actualy if the time was right the would actualy be realy primitive like the first homo sapiens

Humans evolved thousands and thousands of years ago, they found a skull with human and ape characteristics that is 40,000 years old..... people 2000 or so years ago weren't that different to how we are now.

I think a better question is why is Jesus always depecited as white? He lived in the fucking middle east
