The story of Conquest Man is already interesting without overclaiming what the science proves.

A man of mixed heritage, with continental DNA, with Scandinavian burial practices, buried in a Norman knight’s church on the Humber estuary, around 1079, is a genuinely complex and revealing picture.

It does not need inflation to be compelling.

The Crick Institute And The DNA Analysis

The ancient DNA work on Conquest Man was conducted with the involvement of the Francis Crick Institute, one of the leading biomedical research institutions in the United Kingdom, based in London.

The Crick has been involved in ancient DNA analysis of archaeological specimens as part of a broader research program on the genetic history of Britain and Europe.
