9,000-Year-Old Cheddar Man Has Living Descendant Still Living in The Same Area
The DNA of Adrian Targett, who was 42 years old when that discovery was made, was found to match that belonging to Cheddar Man. According to science (sic), this genetic fingerprint is said to have been passed down from mother to child. In other words, Targett and Cheddar Man both share a common maternal ancestral. It may be added that Targett was not the only one from his family to have not moved away from his ancestral land. It was reported that there were 46 individuals in his extended family, and most of them had remained in the Somerset area.
Not sure about the northern states , but here in the south there are hundreds of family cemeteries that date back 200 or more years ago.......
Cheddar Man died with a block of cheese in his hand, which is how he got his modern name. ;^)

Wonder if he will file a claim for land stolen from him that belonged to his ancestors...at least he can actually prove a connection...
