The average human face (per university in Germany). I don’t recognize them.
“Super-recognizers” remember the faces of people they meet.
I may have this ability. It makes trips to Target interesting. And when I did weddings, I would meet hundreds of people a week, and remember them all.
And I’m constantly seeing people and trying to remember where I saw them before. It can be quite distant. I sat down once in an airport and said “hi, do you still work for ____” to a lady that had interviewed me while I was still in college.
Oddly, she had an eidetic memory and remembered me and what I put on my resume (silly tripe that we both laughed about a decade later).

Today’s folks can’t recall yesterday’s lunch let alone 9/11, what Pearl Harbor means, or their net worth.
