I've never seen a European that looks like this Mesolithic man from England. The genes showed he had similar skin characteristics to sub-Saharan Africans.

The gene mutation for blue eyes in humans occurred only once...everyone on earth who has blue eyes can trace them to that one event 7-10,000 years ago.

The woman I worked with was almost that color-same rosy hue, too. But her hair was black-not brown.

Those portraits of ancient people based on remains and DNA info are really fascinating-and that guy looks like some people from the modern-day ME-or Algeria, which would be consistent with the evidence of an Africa-to-Asia-to Eurasia/Europe migration path whenever there were favorable travel conditions with less ice.

I do have a few family members with skin almost that shade, but brown or green eyes-no blue-probably was a Moor or two in the family woodpile-not unusual for Spain after the Islamic invasions-they were everywhere. there is also a fair amount of Native American DNA in that woodpile-typical for Hispanics in the new world-but their skin is a bit more golden brown-less rosy. That skin color is lovely-still looks ME/Arab to me...
