Targett lives about a kilometer from the caves where Cheddar Man was found. Previous tests have shown that Cheddar Man suffered a violent death at the age of about 23 in 7150 B.C.

Butted by a moose?

I rememeber reading about this when it was first reported. The most interesting thing to me is the guy lived right where the skeleton was discovered.

With such a pedigree Adrian Targett is to be inscribed into peerage, and the sooner the better. How many of them have known ancestors even 1000 years ago?

Big deal. We have Ketchup Boy in America.
