The 10,000-Year-Old Man Found In A British Cave — And The DNA Test That Changed What Scientists Thought Early Europeans Looked Like
It was not the Europe of the medieval chroniclers, who would have had no frame of reference for it.
It was not even the Europe of the Neolithic monuments — Stonehenge, the passage tombs of Ireland, the megaliths of Brittany — because those were built by the people who replaced the Mesolithic population.
It was a different Europe, inhabited by people who left no writing, built no permanent monuments, and whose existence we know primarily through the bones they left behind in caves and middens and buried pits, and now — increasingly — through the DNA those bones preserved.
The ancient DNA revolution has allowed us to see this world more clearly than was possible even ten years ago.
