Scientists from the British Museum of Natural History and the University College in London analyzed the genome of the "man from Cedar", whose skeleton was found in the Cedar canyon in the southwest of England in 1903. It is the oldest complete skeleton found in the United Kingdom.
The extract of DNA extracted from the bones according to the analysis indicates blue eyes, dark curly hair and "dark to black" skin pigmentation.
The researchers reported that the evidence suggests that the pale skin of Europeans developed much later than previously thought.
The findings will be presented in a documentary on Channel 4 for Channel 4 on February 18.
