    Default Teacher Finds Out He’s Related To 9000-Year-Old Skeleton Known As “Cheddar Man”

    Teacher Finds Out He’s Related To 9000-Year-Old Skeleton
    Known As “Cheddar Man”




    9000 years ago, a 23-year-old hunter was laid to rest in a limestone cave after he suffered a killing blow to the face.
    This cave presently resides in a village in Somerset, south-west England, named Cheddar,
    (famous for making Cheddar cheese)
    giving the skeleton the name “Cheddar Man”.




    Scientists decided to extract the skeleton’s mitochondrial DNA from a tooth cavity
    and after sampling DNA from 20 families that had lived the longest in the area,
    they found a direct descendant from the 9000-year-old Cheddar Man.




    Bridging 90 centuries and 300 generations, 42-year-old history teacher, Adrian Targett,
    received unexpected fame for being the direct descendant of Britain’s oldest complete skeleton.


    Coincidentally, Targett lives only half a mile from the burial site.
    He mentions, “I’ve been in the cave a few times, but I never realized it was home.”

    Cheddar Man is now on display at the National History Museum in London, England.



    Can you imagine finding out a 9000-year-old skeleton was your many, many-greats grandfather?

    I remember a Finnish poster on YT informed me that the Cheddar Man was an ancient Finn.

    He insisted to me that the Finns settled in Britain thousands of years ago, although I've never heard about this from historians.

    I didn't want to question or doubt him about his claim as he seemed very knowledgeable and clued-up on the history of Finns, and he had a very interesting YT channel.... but I still can't help but feel somewhat in doubt about his claim anytime I hear the Cheddar Man mentioned.

    Did Finns ever settle in Britain? I've never heard of this and I would've thought that the Cheddar Man would be from a Celtic tribe?

    I think a lot of English people are a mixture of Ancient Briton, Celtic, Roman, Angle, Jute, Saxon, Viking, Norman conquerors, etc.... as invaders later settled in England and people have moved around the British Isles during the last 1000 years, before the English went on to invade and conquer others. We're not inbreds... we're a mixed salad really.

    Longer than that. The first Humans appeared in Britain 40,000 years ago. Then they dispersed at 25,000 years ago, then reappeared 13,000 years ago after the last glacial Maximum. Indigenous Britons today have the DNA of these people.

    English people are the descendants of the ancient Britons from 13,000 years back, as well as from later Germanic and Scandinavians that settled the island. The ancient Briton ancestry is strongest in western Great Britain.

    Interesting to know... I'm from the south-west originally. My relatives mostly stem from Somerset and Dorest in the West Country of South West England where I was born and raised, and I have a one ancestor from Wales and one from County Mayo in Western Ireland.
