Cheesy comment. ...
If he was a psychic that would make him a medium cheddar man.
A DNA analysis showed the genes for the darker skin.
20 years ago the reconstruction was based on the best data available. Everyone whose ancestors were from within a thousand kilometers or so of Cheddar had pale skin. The best bet was that hadn’t changed much in 10,000 years.
Actual DNA data trumped that.
Not unprecedented, look at the skin tones of an “African-American” as compared to a just off the boat African immigrant.
You might also recall that when he was touring Africa, Muhammad Ali was astonished to be introduced to the locals as a white American. That was after what, his ancestors being maybe 300 years in a country with less UV exposure.
If he was qualified to be in Mensa, a sharp Cheddar man...
I do got a dumb friend named Cheddar Bob / Who shoots himself in the leg with his own gun.
That’s-a Gouda!
Ifin he’s putting holes in himself, shouldn’t he be Swiss Bob?
Haha. :)
Maybe he died in his twenties,
after he dyed in his twenties?
I think the nearly black skin tone is the product of political correctness and not good science.

He died of lung cancer because he was Smoked Cheddar
I just trashed my old HP 612 deskjet printer. It worked just fine most of its life but became problematic the last few years. It was used only sparingly over its life but it was time to dump its sorry butt with the last problem it gave me.
I’m building from scratch. There is a robust open source community and parts are cheap, though they are all from china.
The largest printer at the consumer level is the Crealty 10 S 5 from China for $450. which does a 400 mm cube. Mine will cost $750 but be more industrial quality and do a 500 mm cube.
The low end designs are an inverted T, as is mine, with a moving y axis bed. I will probably have to convert mine to core x y where the bed is stationary if I want to go bigger because the physics of a moving bed get out of control. Live and learn.
When I saw the description of the guy, I immediately remembered the description the filmmakers gave for “Thulsa Doom” from “Conan”: as a man with dark skin but blue eyes, the last representative of a long-lost race (in the movie, presumably Atlantean).
Funny how they turned out to be right.
From the headline, I thought the guy was from Wisconsin.....
Live and learn.
My Robo-3D has a build volume of 254 x 228.6 x 203.2 mm.
People tend to know far more than they give themselves credit for.

I agree. He could have just been a slave or servant who took ill and was put ashore and died and was buried there, too. Seems more plausible to me since there are no other finds in the area resembling this one.
