Black skin, blue eyes and curly hair: DNA tests reveal the extraordinary face of the first ancient Briton and 10,000-year-old Cheddar Man is directly related to one in ten people in the UK today
The bones are the oldest near-complete human skeleton ever found in Britain and were unearthed in 1903
Researchers extracted DNA data from bone powder by drilling a 2mm hole through the skull's inner ear bone
It showed that there was a 76 per cent chance that Cheddar Man was ‘dark to black’ by today's standards
Research suggests the first inhabitants of the British isles developed white skin later on than thought

The first ancient Britons had black skin, dark curly hair and blue eyes, according to DNA tests.
The ‘extraordinary’ findings were made by cutting-edge genetic tests and facial reconstruction techniques carried out for the first time on the bones of ‘Cheddar Man’ who died 10,000 years ago.
The bones, found in Somerset's Cheddar Gorge, are the oldest near-complete human skeleton ever found in Britain and scientists said they were surprised to discover that the earliest Briton would be considered ‘black’ if he lived today.
The research suggests the first inhabitants of the British isles developed white skin later on than previously thought.
Experts also revealed that Cheddar Man is directly related to 1 in 10 people living in the UK today.

The Natural History Museum and Channel 4 unveiled a reconstruction of the ancient human yesterday, which was made for a documentary: The First Brit: Secrets of the 10,000 Year Old Man.
Cheddar Man’s bones caused a sensation when they were unearthed in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset in 1903.
For more than 100 years, scientists have tried to reveal Cheddar Man’s story, posing theories as to what he looked like, where he came from and what he can tell us about our earliest ancestors.
Only now with cutting-edge DNA and facial reconstruction techniques can we see for the first time the face of this 10,000 year old man, and ask how 300 generations later he relates to us today.
Experts from the museum and University College London conducted genetic tests on the remains, discovered in Gough’s Cave, which were taken by drilling a bone in the skull and sequencing the DNA preserved inside.
Dr Tom Booth, a scientist from the museum said that the findings that there was a 76 per cent chance that Cheddar Man was ‘dark to black’ – was ‘extraordinary’.
He said in the documentary: ‘If a human with that colour skin wandered around now, we’d call him black, and a lot darker than we’d expect for Europe as well.

Britain at the time of Cheddar Man, around 10,000 years ago, was very different from today. An Ice Age had just finished and the land had become green again. Perhaps in pursuit of game, hunter gathering tribes swept in from what is now continental Europe across a land bridge across the North Sea – known as Doggerland
He added: ‘It really shows up that these imaginary racial categories that we have are really very modern constructions, or very recent constructions that are really not applicable to the past at all.’
Dr Rick Schulting, an archaeology professor at Oxford University said: ‘It may be that we may have to rethink some of our notions of what it is to be British, what we expect a Briton to look like at this time.’
A previous reconstruction of Cheddar Man, made by the University of Manchester before DNA tests were available, depicted him with white skin.

He said: ‘I assume that’s going to be a big surprise to most members of the public. It was certainly quite a big surprise to me.’
Britain in the Mesolithic era, the Middle stone age around 8,000 BC, was a very different place from today.
An Ice Age had just finished and the land had become green again. Herds of aurochs – huge, wild cattle - and red deer roamed the land.
Perhaps in pursuit of game, hunter gathering tribes swept in from what is now continental Europe across a land bridge across the North Sea – known as Doggerland.

Britain's oldest complete human skeleton, known as Cheddar Man, was unearthed in 1903 in Gough's Cave in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset.
The prehistoric male lived around 10,000 years ago, and a huge hole in his skull suggests he died a violent death.
Other remains found at Gough's Cave have been linked to cannibalistic rituals, trophy display and secondary burial by prehistoric humans.
Cheddar Man, thought to have died in his twenties and have had a relatively good diet, lived in Britain when it was almost completely depopulated.
Although previous populations had settled in Britain long before his arrival, they were wiped out before him.
The Cheddar Man marked the start of continuous habitation on the island, making him among the very first modern Britons.
Genetically, he belonged to a group of people known as the 'Western Hunter-Gatherers', Mesolithic-era individuals from Spain, Hungary and Luxembourg.
His ancestors migrated to Europe from the Middle East after the Ice Age and today, 10 per cent of White British people are descended from the group.
Scientists have reconstructed the Cheddar Man's face several times using the shape of his skull and assumptions about the appearance of the first Britons.

The total human population in Britain was then just 12,000.
Tests on the DNA of modern Britons reveal we have around 10 per cent of our DNA in common with Cheddar Man and his tribe.
Close genetic matches to Cheddar Man have been found in remains in western Europe at sites including Spain, Hungary and Luxembourg
Scientists say that Cheddar Man’s ancestors arrived in the Britain via the Middle East, after coming out of Africa.
Professor Ian Barnes, research leader at the Natural History Museum, said at a screening of the documentary: ‘For me, it's not just the skin colour that's interesting, it's that combination of features that make him look not like anyone that you'd see today.

Experts from from the Natural History Museum and University College London obtained just a few milligrams of bone powder for DNA analysis from Cheddar Man's skull
‘Not just dark skin and blue eyes, because you can get that combination, but also the face shape. So all of this combines together and make him just not the same as people you see around today.’
Professor Barnes added that although this was just one individual, he said: ‘At the moment I’d suggest this is a good model for what the rest of Britain looked like.’
Professor Barnes and Dr Selina Brace extracted DNA data from bone powder by drilling a 2mm (0.07 inch) hole through the skull's inner ear bone.

HOW DID NORTHERN EUROPEANS EVOLVE TO HAVE LIGHT SKIN?
Common European traits like pale skin evolved relatively recently in central and southern Europe.
Researchers had long assumed that skin lightened as humans migrated from Africa and the Middle East into Europe around 40,000 years ago.
Experts had speculated that shorter day lengths and a sun lower in the sky favoured lighter skin, which more easily synthesised vitamin D.
But a groundbreaking 2015 analysis of the genomes of 83 prehistoric Europeans showed that populations in Europe about 8,000 years ago were still mixed and diverse.
Traits commonly associated with modern Europeans, such as tallness, the ability to digest milk, and lighter skin tone, only became ubiquitous in Europe relatively recently.
Experts found that about 8,500 years ago, early hunter-gatherers in central and southern Europe, including Spain, Luxembourg, and Hungary, had darker skin.
They lacked versions of two genes, called SLC24A5 and SLC45A2. These genes were responsible for 'depigmentation', and hence pale skin, in Europeans today.
In the far north of Europe, where low light levels favoured pale skin, the team found hunter-gatherers had a lighter complexion.
Two light-skin gene variants, SLC24A5 and SLC45A2, were found in seven people from the 7700-year-old Motala archaeological site in southern Sweden.
A third gene found in the group, HERC2/OCA2, has been linked to blue eyes and may also contribute to blonde hair and light skin.
The research shows that, contrary to previous theories, Europe was still a diverse continent up to at least 8,000 years ago, showing that pale skin developed in central and southern Europe much later than first thought.
‘With the new DNA information it was really revolutionary. And it allowed us to look more at race, this revealed stuff that we'd never had known before.’
Cheddar Man, is thought to have had a relatively good diet, and his bones suggest that he would be much stronger than most people today.
Although previous populations had settled in Britain long before his arrival, they were wiped out before him and he marked the start of continuous habitation on the island.
Professor Mark Thomas said one theory is that white skin developed in Britain and western Europe after our ancestors switched to farming – and began to eat less meat.
This meant that instead of getting a lot of Vitamin D from liver and fish, they needed to get more from sunlight, which meant they needed fairer skin.
Alfons Kennis said: ‘People define themselves by which country they're from, and they assume that their ancestors were just like them.
'And then suddenly new research shows that we used to be a totally different people with a different genetic makeup.
‘People will be surprised, and maybe it will make immigrants feel a bit more involved in the story. And maybe it gets rid of the idea that you have to look a certain way to be from somewhere. We are all immigrants.’
Dr Silvia Bello, along with the Natural History Museum’s Professor Chris Stringer, has spent the last ten years analysing the bones of the earlier inhabitants of the cave which date back nearly 5,000 years before Cheddar Man.

They have studied cups made from human skulls which suggest this cannibalistic behaviour was driven by a type of ritual rather than starvation.
The DNA profile of Cheddar Man has revealed that, although they were found in the very same cave, he shares no direct ancestry with these earlier cannibals.
