Fake
They would definitely assume a tail because we have the bone there.

And there is no indication of ears or whiskers. This meme is a furrys fantasy.

The joke is that it’s basing human apperance on other rodents. So this is definitely missing a tail.

There’s also no reason they would think that we had claws.
This is baseless furry propaganda.

Smh when science community cant read. It explicitly states that they found no surviving hominids and the only mammal The closest thing they found to a human was a mouse. So they took a human skeleton and gave it mouse features because we’re both mammals so clearly we are the same.

But isn’t the bone to short to be a tail?

Ears are wrong since they suggest directional ears, but we don’t have the muscle, or critically the ligament attachment points on the skull, for that.
As far as claws go, again, no marks of strong cartilege / ligament / bed on the fingers and toes that would indicate functional claws.
Nipples: the smoking gun would be a pregnant woman or an infant, but theyd be able to see that unlike rodents, humans arent having more than two babies at a time outside of extremely rare cases, more than two babies just dont have room to fully gestate, so theyd likely cut that number down.
Fur: the sheer amount of plastic clothing we’ve generated will put that to rest fast.
Whiskers: There would be ligament attachment marks on the skull where the muscles used to move them would have been. Also maybe blood vessel/neuron marks on the bones.
Also the almost complete lack of snout would indicate heavy hand usage and not diving into things headfirst like rodents and cats have to.

May I introduce you to basically any interpretation of what dinosaurs looked like, ever (which is what this joke is about)?

Yup, and I am aware how outdated that artwork is. Thats where I pulled that analysis from.
I’d suggest Raptor Chatter and Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong on youtube.

“Isn’t that cruelty to animals?”

I mean, that’s basically what we do when we study ancient hominids.

Very unlikely because we have sculptures and remains at pompei and similar.
