Elisabeth Daynès is a highly acclaimed sculptor and paleontologist who creates incredibly realistic reconstructions of our ancestors using archaeological finds, clay and silicon.

She calls herself a paleoartist, a mixture of hard science and pure art. Not only do these sculptures appear life-like, they are also educational: they help illustrate the process by which we evolved into who we are today. She also sometimes reconstructs famous people, like Darwin, the creator of evolution itself. In 2010 Elizabeth won the most prestigious reward for work in paleontology, the J. Lanzendorf PaleoArt Prize in the 3-Dimensional Art category.

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.
