    The first Britons were black, DNA study reveals

    The first Britons were black, DNA study reveals

    We have had several threads in the past where we discussed various theories about the rise of humans on earth. Out of Africa is the main theory- which this finding tends to support.

    But there were other theories. One being that man started in two or three separate areas and merged to one degree or another.

    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.

    Cool, not earth-shattering but important information about where we came from. I try to stay up on this kinda stuff but you almost invariably post it before I can.

    I favored the second theory. Looks like this find may shift my position.

    If true, what this demonstrates is that evolution works much faster and that populations diverge much more rapidly than than most laymen think.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Yes, they would have to evolve to fit with the climate.

    Great news, so does that mean Idris Elba can be cast as the new Bond now?
    “Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”
