Full facial reconstruction model of a head based on the skull of Britain's oldest complete skeleton on display during a screening event of The First Brit: Secrets Of The 10,000 Year Old Man at The Natural History Museum, in London

By Henry Bodkin

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.

Scientists said they show that commonly understood racial categories are historically only “recent constructions”.

Up to nine previous colonisations of Britain, via the now flooded European landbridge known as Doggerland, had been wiped out due to harsh temperatures.

But the roughly 12,000 humans in Britain at the time of Cheddar Ma thrived and their DNA now comprises roughly 10 per cent of the genetic make-up of most white people currently living in the UK.

They lived mainly in tents made from animal skins and preyed on animals like deer andboar using hunting dogs and bows and arrows.

Cheddar Man was reconstructed from following new genetic breakthroughs

Dr Yoan Dieckmann, from University College London, who took part in the project, said: “The historical perspective that you get just tells you that things change, things are in flux, and what may seem as a cemented truth that people who feel British should have white skin, through time is not at all something that is an immutable truth.

“It has always changed and will change.”

Establishing the genetic identity of Britain’s oldest skeleton enabled the team to find out whether it, and therefore we, were related to earlier fragments of bone thought to belong to cannibals.

However, no DNA link was found.

Cheddar Man was discovered in Gough's Cave, in the Cheddar Gorge, Somerset

Archeologists already knew Cheddar Man was about five foot five inches tall, around 10 stone with good teeth and that he died in his early 20s.

But genetic sequencing that would have been impossible just ten years ago have now allowed them to determine the colour of its skin, eyes, and hair.

The information was passed to Dutch “Paleo-artists” Alfons and Adrie Kennis, make facial reconstructions of extinct mammals and early humans.


“The combination of quite dark skin and blue eyes is something that we don’t imagine is typical, but that was the real appearance of these people, something that’s quite rare today,” said Professor Chris Stringer, research leader in human origins at the Natural History Museum.

dingbang:
explain this pivot thing please

If igbo pass your power smoke cigarettes, if chewing gum too expensive buy bitter kola...but in all do something. That is pivot in laymanese .



When you switch to a different business model or idea to help bolster your startup or business.

dingbang:
my brother

Do come donate to my ministry ooo

They have refused to Pivot...that's the first rule of startups...if X ain't your thing pivot.

DingBang

God for you then



Snowden9 you get the point my guy...

TerrorSquad147:
uncle Zuma

Na'am

It's because Nigeria and the labour market is acidic.

tdayof:
Those places are rigged wIth land mines so majority of SF ops will get blown before commencement.

I have a family friend who's a colonel. He said after the chibok girls were kidnapped, they were waiting for the order to get them which didn't come out within 24hrs. He said since such order didn't come out within that time frame, going into the enemy territory just like that will be dangerous as everywhere will be filled wIth landmines.


My own suggestion is this, look at that attack on the crashed helicopter site. Wish our guys had rigged explosive in that environment before they left. BHT would have been left with casualties.

Means we have either a poor Intel collecting method or theirs is better.

tdayof:
Maybe we need to start seeing the benefits. In my opinion, some actions are not taken into consideration due to limited manpower and resources.

What's your own opinion towards the BHT menace?

I'm an ardent supporter of psy-ops...whenever we "misplace" munitions or weapons we rig them to explode...use SF assets to create the impression of ghosts, harass their bases with SF infiltrations and take out key commanders then follow it up with arty and CBU 100s from our Alphas...pick up that Mama BH and that cookie reporter and hold them incommunicado.

In essence make them doubt themselves and their leaders, make them unsure of their equipment, food and medicines.

Intercept their fuel suppliers and taint them, put laxatives in their food, drop information about their captured members having HIV...

tdayof:
A long endurance UAV will save cost. That's what nemesis4u advised. If you spend 50# on 10 long endurance UAV together fly for 8 hours, I'm sure you'll cover over 3000km in a day.

How many territory does BHT control 3000km radius?

You still haven't gotten my point; we can but "we" don't see the importance of it.

tdayof:
Yes. But SF will need a good Intel to execute their missions. ELINT will compliment HUMINT on ground.

I just feel, why can't the airforce perform ISR coverage of all bokoharam territories? According to them, they have control of most areas now leaving just little to bokoharam. How are they still able to launch massive attacks on villages?
The whole thing sounds funny.

Uncle you sabi how much each sortie dey cost...



I'm sure BHT know this.

tdayof:
Nah, forget Joseph Kony is a wise man. They'll obviously see is trail but not him.

Just like Pablo, wanted and still chilled at the front of the White House.

My point exactly, there are SF assets on ground looking for him and he's still elusive. BHT can be contained but they'll need to be destroyed from the inside.

Call me when dem catch Kony...

tdayof:
What of ELINT? Dude uses cellphone and walkie talkie.

So does 2million plus IDPs, NGOs and Military personnel.

LTGEN:
Very difficult to do.

True that...they'd need HUMINT for a cat like SKU

McCobble:
AY looks good with that beard my guy, wish you could see mine, sure you will love to belong to the club

You should see mine...what AY has is a stubble

tdayof:
imo, US has been tracking shekau and I'm sure they know where the nigga is.

They have other fishes to fry until Shekau attacks a US asset.
