Cheddar Man's Complexion

Post by L'Emmerdeur » Thu Feb 08, 2018 2:44 am

I thought of titling this thread with a jibe at chowderheads like Richard Spencer and Stefan Molyneux. Instead I went with something more descriptive and neutral. :smoke:

'Britain's Dark-Skinned, Blue-Eyed Ancestor Explained'
A recent facial reconstruction of a 10,000-year-old skeleton called the "Cheddar Man" has revealed a man with bright blue eyes, slightly curly hair, and dark skin.

"It might surprise the public, but not ancient DNA geneticists," says Mark Thomas, a scientist at the University College London.

That's because a new analysis of the ancient man's DNA proves he's genetically similar to other dark-skinned individuals from the Mesolithic era found in Spain, Hungary, and Luxemborg whose DNA has already been sequenced. The new revelation places the Cheddar Man among a group of hunter-gatherers that are thought to have migrated to Europe at the end of the last Ice Age some 11,000 years ago.

The Cheddar Man earned his name, not because of his fondness for cheese, which likely wasn't cultivated until around 3,000 years later, but because he was found in Cheddar Gorge in Somerset, England (which is, incidentally, where cheddar cheese originates).

Thomas is part of a large team that worked with London's Natural History Museum to reconstruct the Cheddar Man's face.

Our local racist will be along soon to claim that this genetic find supports the concept of race.

In a thousand years you'll all average out. At least on the surface. Except for those freaks who install 'glow-in-the-dark' genes into their skin pigments. They will be new freaks everyone can stare at.

What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

Every educated person knows that the white master race only came to earth 4000 BC on space ships from Aldebaran and that they were living on Atlantis not Britain for the first 2000 years.
