2018年2月7日 · Thanks to technological advances, scientists can see ancient DNA in new detail. A recent facial reconstruction of a 10,000-year-old skeleton called the "Cheddar Man" has revealed a man...

Ancient DNA from Cheddar Man, a Mesolithic skeleton discovered in 1903 at Gough's Cave in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, has helped Museum scientists paint a portrait of one of the oldest modern humans in Britain. Cheddar Man lived around 10,000 years ago and is the oldest almost complete skeleton of our species, Homo sapiens, ever found in Britain.

In 2018, the publication of the genetics study by Brace et al. and subsequent facial reconstruction of a dark-skinned and blue-eyed Cheddar Man resulted in widespread media coverage. [ 13 ] [ 22 ] This coverage again described Cheddar Man as the "first Brit" (despite older remains of modern humans being known from Britain).

2018年2月7日 · Researchers have put a face on one of the oldest modern humans in England—the 10,000-year-old "Cheddar Man" from Gough's Cave in Cheddar Gorge—and they reveal he had blue eyes and dark skin and hair.

2018年2月7日 · The face of 'Cheddar Man', Britain's oldest nearly complete skeleton at 10,000 years old, is revealed for the first time and with unprecedented accuracy by UCL and Natural History Museum researchers. The results indicate that Cheddar Man had blue eyes, dark coloured curly hair and 'dark to black' skin pigmentation.

2018年2月8日 · Ancient DNA reveals that he had a striking combination of dark skin and pale eyes. In a new facial reconstruction, modelers at Kennis & Kennis Reconstructions worked with Britain's Natural...

2018年2月7日 · Experts at the University College of London then used the DNA information to create a facial reconstruction of Cheddar Man, rendering his dark complexion, deep brown hair, and light eyes in...

2018年2月8日 · Artists Alfons and Adrie Kennis who specialise in palaeontological model-making, took the results which showed the original eye, skin and hair colour of Cheddar Man and crafted a lifelike model of a male face based on the known measurements of the real skull.
