Original Note:
Cutting-edge scientific analysis shows that a Briton from 10,000 years ago (Cheddar Man) had dark brown skin and curly black hair. The lighter skin characteristic of modern Europeans is a relatively recent phenomenon. Therefore, the BBC is not "re-writing history". https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2018/02/07/first-britons-black-natural-history-museum-dna-study-reveals/
