The first modern Britons, who lived about 10,000 years ago, had “dark to black” skin, a groundbreaking DNA analysis of Britain’s oldest complete skeleton has revealed.
The fossil, known as Cheddar Man, was unearthed more than a century ago in Gough’s Cave in Somerset. Intense speculation has built up around Cheddar Man’s origins and appearance because he lived shortly after the first settlers crossed from continental Europe to Britain at the end of the last ice age. People of white British ancestry alive today are descendants of this population.
It was initially assumed that Cheddar Man had pale skin and fair hair, but his DNA paints a different picture, strongly suggesting he had blue eyes, a very dark brown to black complexion and dark curly hair.
The discovery shows that the genes for lighter skin became widespread in European populations far later than originally thought – and that skin colour was not always a proxy for geographic origin in the way it is often seen to be today.
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.”
Yoan Diekmann, a computational biologist at University College London and another member of the project’s team, agreed, saying the connection often drawn between Britishness and whiteness was “not an immutable truth. It has always changed and will change”.
The findings were revealed ahead of a Channel 4 documentary, which tracked the ancient DNA project at the Natural History Museum in London as well as creating a new forensic reconstruction of Cheddar Man’s head.

Several decades ago, ancient skeletal remains were found in China, that were as old ( carbon dated ) as those found in Africa...if not older!
And just because some people in Africa are Negroid, many who lived in the northern part of that continent were NOT in any way Negroid at all; they were Caucasoid.
That theory is getting some serious challenges these days.
Did Early Humans Evolve In Europe, Not Africa?
Europe Was The Birthplace Of Mankind, Not Africa, Scientists Find
Here is a very long but good video that I think you would like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeb09GS7ids
It also talks about how Cultural Marxism is destroying several races of humans in Africa that are currently endangered!!!
The Welsh are pretty swarthy, they apparently have more Indo in their Indo-European DNA.
Yeah, that’s what the Marxist and globalist want us to believe.
We are the World!
Or at least Mr. Cheddar had dark to black skin.
There's a dyke ( Offa's Dyke) that seperates Wales from England.
(Offa's Dyke (Welsh: Clawdd Offa) is a large linear earthwork that roughly follows the current border between England and Wales. The structure is named after Offa, the Anglo-Saxon king of Mercia from AD 757 until 796, who is traditionally believed to have ordered its construction. Although its precise original purpose is debated, it delineated the border between Anglian Mercia and the Welsh kingdom of Powys.)
Many don't know about this dyke. Also, I've read the the world's highest concentration of O type blood is in Wales.
Most of the DNA in Wales has its origins in the Iberian Ice Age refuge.
Thanks. I'll view that tomorrow.
None of the Welsh actors & actresses, that I can think of, are swarthy at all. But then, these are the only Welsh people whom I know what they look like.
Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Milland, Ioan Gruffudd,Hugh Griffths, Stanley Baker, Glynis Johns, Catherine Zeta-Jones,Dawn French, Sian Phillips, for example.
So darksheare I should post in other threads like this?

Meet an idiot who thinks that boycotting the NFL didn’t give BLM and antifa leverage over the NFL.
Brition as in the physical British Isles, dude.
Like what else are they supposed to call it?
From FR posting guidelines:
Don’t jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it’s considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.
I’m aware however the poster in question did the same thing and claimed it doesn’t matter cause no one was pinged. Just giving them a taste of thier own medicine. Have a good night
Was he found wearing hot pants and carrying his papa’s brand new bag?
i linked your post.
I didn’t mention your handle.
Plus, you are dragging arguments across threads all over the forum.
Boo hoo what’s good for the goose is good for that gander. You decided to take it to a different thread now you want to cry foul. Too bad. Btw now you are dragging things across threads.

Like where you brag about stalking another poster?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3629849/posts?page=310#310
And pretty much say you’ll do it again?
You really don’t want to try that.
You getting little flustered I thought you were entertained and could do this all night. Anyone is welcome to go look at timestamps and see who dragged sh*t to anther thread first. But you don’t like it when it’s done to you too bad...
Just so y’all know I am getting the revisionist history in early:
“King Arthur was a black man!”
Now Britain is full of privileged white trash!
