Who? Nice!

Ok, questions: I saw this posted by my lefty friend over on facebook (I don’t know but somehow it meant that creationists were racists or something - i don’t engage with him on these issues - I just like his puppy/kitty/music posts.)

But how does anyone know what color this guy’s eyes or skin were, from looking at his ancient bones?

They know, within a degree of certainty, from looking at his genes not his bones.

It's a little odd that your lefty friend is using this article to call Creationists racists since it comes from the Institute of Evolutionary Biology in Barcelona. More the mainstream ivory tower type of scientists. You know ... liberals.

It states right in the article that they tested intact DNA from the guy’s tooth and he had the genetic markers for blue eyes.

Liberals are dense.
