I've been reporting about Cheddar Man on FR now for about 15 years. I've told you that my dad's mother (Mrs Smith) has the same mtDNA as does Cheddar Man, U5a. Also, I've read that blue eyes in humans came from one mutation event and that everyone with blue eyes can trace their DNA back to that single event. I have bright blue eyes.

Cheddar cheese is named for this area in Great Britain and a descendent (Adrian Targett) of Cheddar Man today lives about four miles from where Cheddar Man was found.(How would you like to be able to tell your friends, yup, my family has lived in the area for 10,000 years)

Some previous articles about Cheddar Man that I've posted:

I wouldn’t put too much importance on the data about a population from one sample.

Obviously there is some PC benefit to revealing this jaw-dropping news item. Did those evil Whites kill all the dark-skinned people and take all their arrowheads? Am I supposed to bump my White Guilt up a notch?

Wasn’t Cheddar Man the guy who shot himself in Eminem’s movie?

Part of my mixed family is from Britain.

While I think they were Saxon, I suspect they had some local flavor also.

No pirates in the mix so far.

Hi! I'm your long-lost distant cousin!

Somerset has a long coastal area. Light skin was a favorable mutation which made it more possible to form Vitamin D on the skin and absorb it. Vitamin D deficiency resulted in poor pelvic structure and difficulty with childbearing. One possible reason for gentlemen preferring blonds. Living along the coast the population could get plenty of Vitamin D from eating fish. Cod liver oil anyone? People living inland, especially in Europe may have mutated light skin early than populations living near the coasts.

My Scots ancestry husband had very bright light blue eyes, red hair, and sun sensitive skin. Given his build and extensive body hair, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had more than 4% Neanderthal genes. I would not be surprised if Neanderthals, many of whom lived far inland mutated light skin earlier than some other groups.

Tom Booth, an archaeologist at the Natural History Museum who worked on the project, said: “It really shows up that these imaginary racial categories that we have are really very modern constructions, or very recent constructions, that really are not applicable to the past at all.”

Skin color and morphological characteristics are "imaginary"?

What about “Venezuelan Beaver Cheese Man”?
