What is the scientific purpose of those facial reconstructions of people that lived tens of thousands of years ago?

As far as I can tell, the reconstructions are based on complex factors from the skull and any other available skeletal and biological evidence. But there’s no real way to check it. So, is there some genuine scientific purpose for it?

I imagine there could be a lotcof useful things learned in the process of figuring out how to do it. Kind of like how professional auto racing serves no intrinsic purpose beyond entertainment, but in figuring out how to make car go vroom tons of useful technology was developed that is used in consumer vehicles.
