The earliest Britons were black-skinned, with dark curly hair and possibly blue eyes, new analysis of a 10,000-year-old Somerset skeleton has revealed.

Scientists at the Natural History Museum have used pioneering genetic sequencing and facial reconstruction techniques to prove that the first hunter-gatherers successfully to inhabit Britain were far darker in complexion than previously thought.

The groundbreaking discovery was made in a “stroke of luck” after archeologists found scraps of DNA in the ear of the Mesolithic “Cheddar Man”, the oldest complete skeleton ever found in the UK and one of the museum’s most treasured specimens.

They then cross-referenced the genomes of modern inhabitants of Cheddar, near Gough’s Cave in the Cheddar Gorge where the remains were discovered in 1903, as well as other fossils from across Europe.

The results show, contrary to popular belief, that the founding generations of Britons owed more in appearance to Paleolithic Africans, from whom all humans descend.

Cheddar Man and I have mt DNA Haplogroup U5. Does this mean I get reparations?

The first Britons were black

Interesting. The current Britons are gay.

Ok,they lost me with that BullBush. They might SUSPECT that all humans are descended from Paleolithic Africans,but it is NOT an established fact with anyone other than the PC crowd. The TRUTH is those are merely the oldest human remains THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND,which is not the same thing as "original man". Most of the world is and has always been underwater,and the parts underwater now are not the parts that were underwater in pre-history.
