Original Note:
DNA cannot 100% conclusively demonstrate ancient Britons had dark to black skin. DNA degrades over the last 10,000 years. For example, there is doubt Cheddar Man had dark skin. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2161867-ancient-dark-skinned-briton-cheddar-man-find-may-not-be-true/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5453665/Was-Cheddar-man-white-all.html https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/10/a-brief-history-of-the-genes-that-color-our-skin/542694/
