I for one am outraged that the indigenous dark skinned population of Britain 10,000 years ago has been overrun by pale skinned immigration from the Middle East 6,000 years ago. Really interesting this. Also, imagine being discovered as the eldest Brit ever and being referred to as ‘the cheddar man’. I’d be royally cheesed off.

I bet he hid in the back of a Viking ship? Actually I was more interested in his height. As someone who is "vertically challanged" I like the idea our ancestors were only 5ft 5. Rather than call him Cheddar man how about Nigel?

The world's population was black and originated from Africa. Shock. Horror. Tell us something we don't know. Although there's interest in the make up of this individual, the U.K's or world's ethnicity back then is not news.

A neoliithic hunter gatherer may have had a dark complexion, but the later waves of invaders that wiped out these people (iberians for NW spain, the Celts from Central Europe, Romans, Saxons, Danes, Norse etc) were the ones that contributed to the culture and built the country. At one point Terrordactils were in Britain, had about the same cultural relevance as this chap, god bless him.

And they would have originally been black so it's only a story of when a dark face was in Britain, not if. If he had brown eyes I'd have mistaken him for David Dickenson.

This is PC history plain and simple which sounds like total bollocks to me and archaeologists don't exactly have a good record for being accurate do they. They change their minds every couple of years.
