> [@Loach](#): > > I seem to recall they made it clear that Robin is homo sapien. Given the location do they make the German caveman a Neanderthal? I think they were clearly making Robin _not_ H. sap. Why else would they bother having him wear extensive facial prosthetics? > [@In Praise of 'Ghosts' (British TV Series That Inspired The American One)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-praise-of-ghosts-british-tv-series-that-inspired-the-american-one/977428/59): > > I get the sense by looking at him. He is wearing facial prosthetics specificly to not look like a modern human: I like playing big, ridiculous characters and I have always been fascinated by special effects and prosthetic make-up which is lucky because the other guys have been very open in saying they would not enjoy having to put on Robin’s make-up every day. Complete costume and make up for Robin takes about two and a half hours to put on and about 45 minutes to get it all off. The most it … There is a point where Arrow-neck lady says she’s been there over 20 years, Noblewoman says “200”, and Roman officer says “2,000”. Caveman is standing beside him looking to be counting on his fingers and Roman officer says “2,000,000” for Caveman. But nobody literally says “Neanderthal”, and a literal two million years would be too long ago for that. He has no heavy prosthetics like Robin but has big eyebrows and prosthetic bad teeth (even though bad teeth is more of a agriculture-age affliction because of access to more sugar—if anything it should be several of the _other_ ghosts with the bad teeth). He has worse language skills than Robin and personality-wise is the least appealing character out of him, Robin and Thor. (His name is Urs.) Oh, and that explaining scene (that I found again for this) is where another ghost was mentioned that I had forgotten. They say something about Delores, who died in her carriage, who travels from one wedding to the next. Not sure exactly what that is supposed to mean. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ghosts-us-season-4-general-discussion-spoilers-in-op/1005028)._
