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 same combination that would later be found for Cheddar Man.
The connection between the two individuals — separated by three thousand years and roughly 1,500 kilometers of geography — is the genetic signature they share.
Both belonged to the Western Hunter-Gatherer meta-population.
Both had the pigmentation characteristics that turn out to be typical of that population.
Both are part of a consistent picture that ancient DNA research has now established for Mesolithic western Europe.
The La Braña analysis was published in 2012 and received significant scientific attention, but it did not achieve the same level of public engagement as the Cheddar Man study.
