Not a name.

Not a story.

The only traces of pre-agricultural European languages are a few words in modern languages that do not have Indo-European roots and that may be survivals from an earlier stratum — words that appear to have been borrowed from whatever languages were spoken before the Indo-European expansion.

The specific identification of such words is highly uncertain, and the linguistic history of prehistoric Europe is largely inaccessible.

Cheddar Man’s language was presumably related to the languages of other Western Hunter-Gatherer communities across western Europe — the people of what is now Spain, France, and northern Germany, with whom his ancestors had shared territory and with whom his population had genetic connections.
