Britain’s oldest nearly complete human skeleton known as ‘Cheddar Man’ has changed what scientists thought about skin pigmentation in northern Europeans. DNA from a 10,000-year-old skeleton found in an English cave suggests the oldest-known Briton had dark skin and blue eyes, researchers have revealed overnight. Scientists from Britain's Natural History Museum and University College in London analysed the genome of "Cheddar Man," who was found in Cheddar Gorge in southwest England in 1903.
