“Scientists at Princeton University reconstructed a 3D model of the first man, Adam”
What FACTLY found
The image actually shows a 3D render of Vin Diesel posted by a 3D Character artist named Vitaly Tenishev 6 years ago. A theatre located in New York, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, tweeted this image, claiming it as the 3D reconstruction of the first man, Adam, reconstructed by scientists at Princeton University. This was tweeted by them as a joke, which is confirmed in their next tweet, which reads, ‘just a reminder that they were a movie theatre, not an academic journal..’.
