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.

Yeah, that really explains how the population of Britain -- one of the most ethnically and genetically 'repainted' places on Earth -- is 100 percent descended from this cheese guy. What's that? Oh, not everyone has been tested, and most of those who have been turned out to have no DNA in common with him? Weird. :^)

Mostly it explains a lot about the political leanings of the bozos who put out this 'research'. Thanks blam.

I would like to slam my results against those -- so far I've had a bunch of archaic stuff show up, and would like to add one more.

Sounds like Henry Louis Gates has been busy. In his reckoning, (not research) everyone on the planet was black.

My daughter toured the cheddar caves. They still make and age cheddar cheese in those caves. The milk comes from cows grazing in that valley. Daughter brought some of that cheese for me to taste. It was great, even the mold rind of the open air aging tasted really good.

And Cheddar Man’s bones are right along the pathway in the cave for everyone to see.

Ah yes, the mold in the air aging the cheese.

Maybe he was a slave whose mother had been mated with by a lighter colored owner, not unlike what happened with our slaves. Many “blacks” are much lighter than black Africans and are actually mixed race.
