The 10,000-Year-Old Man Found In A British Cave — And The DNA Test That Changed What Scientists Thought Early Europeans Looked Like
The Ice Age Before Cheddar Man: The Population That Preceded
Cheddar Man’s population — the Western Hunter-Gatherers — was not the first population to inhabit Britain.
The island had been home to modern humans going back at least 40,000 years, and possibly longer for earlier human species.
The earliest anatomically modern humans in Britain are represented by a small number of Paleolithic specimens: Paviland Cave in Wales produced a burial known as the “Red Lady of Paviland” (later identified as a young adult male) dating to approximately 33,000 years ago.
Kents Cavern in Devon has yielded fragments of jaw bone tentatively dated to roughly 40,000 to 44,000 years ago, among the oldest modern human remains in northwestern Europe.
