Whether this approach has been applied to Cheddar Man’s teeth is not fully established in the publicly available literature.

The Three-Part Story Of European Ancestry

The Cheddar Man finding fits into what geneticists have described as the three-way admixture story of European ancestry — the finding that modern Europeans are the product of three major source populations, each of which contributed distinct genetic components.

The first component is the Western Hunter-Gatherer ancestry, represented by Cheddar Man and his contemporaries.

This component is the oldest continuous European ancestry, representing the postglacial hunter-gatherer populations that inhabited western and central Europe.

In modern white British people, this component represents approximately ten percent of ancestry.
