    Well, isn’t that convenient, in an era where elites are desperately pushing an avalanche of multiculturalism on every white European country and never on any other country, most especially, Israel, they just happen to confirm that actually the original inhabitants were dark skinned, who’d have thought it eh.

    Closes the race debate?  Is this the same as when we are told "the science is settled" when it comes to climate change?  Sorry but the science is far from being "settled."  And "Cheddar Man" doesn't settle the race debate either!  So if this is factual then where is the DNA in modern Brits for dark skin?  Surely it would show up.  And as stated here one person does not reflect the entire culture or society.  Frankly, this man looks more akin to Aboriginal Australians or black skinned people in India than he does to Africans.  Evidece for the "Out of Australia" or "Out of Asia" theories perhaps?  This professor is stretching it broadly!  But this comes as no surprise to me at all since academia is plagued by political correctness more than it is concerned about FACTS!  And if this professor didn't play the PC game she'd never get funding for anything from any university another day in her life!  Just one more example, in my mind, of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.  Just more PC fake science!  And btw race is NOT "imaginary."  In fact, medical researchers are now tailoring some treatments and procedures to the patients RACE because such treatments/procedures do  NOT work the same for all RACES.  So if race is "imaginary" then why would they be doing that???  Next story.................

    Random Thoughts:

    -The researcher had to "coax" the DNA sample. In this era of political correctness in academia, might she have chosen to coax things in the direction of darker skin? And are these results reproducible? Academia is no stranger to fraud after all.

    -Could this in fact be Pict DNA? Picts were sometimes referred to as being "Dark."

    Hope this adds to the discussion.

    Just a thought.

    The results from one individual cannot be assumed to represent an entire population. Since Britain may have still been part of the Continent at that time, that one person my have come from anywhere.

    Look at the photo of the colossal statue near the chest where it's cracked. That clearly shows a layer of soft mold able cement or plaster like material on top of carved stone. That would explain the exact matching mathematical evenness of each side of the face. If it was carved by hand it could not be perfect on each side of the face. Chris Dunn also said it was a mold or more likely a C&C machine.

    How does this close debate? Are we ending all scientific discovery? Will there be no more research?

    How can you assume a whole race of people are black skinned with blue eyes? Perhaps this man was a combination of his parents DNA who may have been of different races. This may be just ONE man in a whole community of white men who look as you think he did. His DAN doesn't tell you he had blue eyes did it?

    Quote: It was “luck”, however, that they found “scraps of DNA in his ear” - DNA sample could have easily been contaminated. Article has been ridiculed on social media and defies all other research on this matter. Typical political correctness now entering science.

    I have a great aunt who is still alive and she has traveled all over the world and studied our family tree. She has made a book of our Genealogical Records. It goes back 20 generations and has great detail of the family members with their births, deaths, and marriages. This could be the missing pieces that historians are looking for. I wish someone would contact me so that we can discuss this further.

    The headline for this article is a little misleading and the article is over simplified. For example. the author claims in the headline that the Cheddar man was black skinned. However, that is not an accurate conclusion supported by the scientific evidence. The scientific evidence concludes the Cheddar man had dark to black skin. In other words, he could have had black skin or just have been darker than most Britons today. Also, examining an old, small DNA sample is problematic to begin with and interpretting the results can be biased on the researcher’s part. One must also remember that humans have always been migratory and the Cheddar man may have not been typical of the people living in the area. As always the scientific process is a long one and often change based on new evidence, new research techniques, and a more comperhensive understanding of the question. Even if the Cheddar man was really black skinned and not just dark skinned, it is possible that the dark skin was inherited from human interbreeding with other hominids.

    Wrong, wrong, wrong.....had my DNA done - blue eyed, dark brown hair, olive skin - nope, not a drop of African found. Family immigrated from Denmark 150 years ago, but found Italian/Greek DNA; makes sense for the source of the olive skin. And on a much smaller scale eastern European and Asia Minor. Hence, the migration from the Biblical lands thousands of years ago. I have proof of my origin, but only guesses in this article. I am about ready to unsubscribe.

    It is remarkable how wise the Ancients were of the creation of life and the cosmos and possess a much greater understanding than we do in modern times.
    This "myth" is truly no myth at all but coincides with the Biblical account of the 7 days of creation.

    "The carbon dating, which is considered to be extremely accurate..." WRONG! The carbon dating method is one of the most unreliable dating methods in science - and it is well known fact among scientist, however they don't really like to accept it publicly...

    Comment Author: HMF

    I have wondered about the size of Tutanhkamun’s tomb. It has always seemed particularly small in comparison to other tombs of the period, despite the “prepared in a hurry” explanation. If you stop to consider the turmoil which must have been in place when the Pharaoh died at the age of 19, without leaving an heir, the idea of a double burial with his stepmother does not seem so far fetched (fetched maybe, but not far fetched). I can see a scenario where the burial detail says “Crap, we have 90 days to build a tomb fit for the Pharaoh? I know let’s take Mom’s tomb, add a couple of rooms, shove her to the back (or side) and presto we have a tomb for him.” or words to that effect. Tut was not a particularly important king. He had not really had time to come into his own, ascending at age 9 and dying at 19. Because of his early and unexpected death many of his grave goods were recycled (including perhaps the famous death mask) so why not the tomb as well?

    Is it possible that Ivar's title "the Boneless" refers not to osteogenesis but rather to the flexibility that training like martial arts develops?

    Hmm, so ALL "dark" skin HAS TO COME FROM AFRICA OR ELSE!! 1) what does dark mean. not black nor ebony. 2) & the only place in world where "dark" skin was found was Africa? 3) the pre-kelts, the Correigh, Most Native Americans are "dark" & the last have been in Americas for 20-50,000 years & obviously moved everywhere, including Ireland & Finland (Samii DNA matches Yuchis). Get over the Afrocentric crap. 4) Anyone else remember before the current PCrap, when anthropology stated accurately that the Negroid racial type was a recent evolutionary development for survival in central Africa. OH no, now they are the origin of everything & all civilization. Tell that to Chinese, Hindus & the early American civilizations.

    Actually what's really amazing is how the result of a scientific study may depend on the currently active political doctrine. Yesterday they told us there had been blue eyed blondes; today it's blue-eyed Africans (laughed my pants off); tomorrow there won't be a place for the Europeans altogether - and the day after tomorrow it's going to be just Anunaki and no humans on the face of the Earth at all. Total bs. It's sad, actually.

  • Reply to: Does Ta Prohm Temple Depict a ‘Domestic’ Dinosaur?   6 years 3 months ago
    Comment Author: Chris S

    Just a thought here... Has anyone considered that the people at the time may have discovered Stegosaur fossils and just reimaged them into the temple? Stegosaurus' have been found in Southern India, so it isn't so huge a leap to come to that conclusion.
    IMO - It is a much more fitting explanation than either living descendants of the animal or that they could have been rhinos or boars. The image looks unmistakably like a Stegosaurus and does not look at all like it is a representation of a boar or rhino. The people that built those temples were incredible artists, as such, if they wanted to depict a rhino... They would have, and we would be able to tell.
    Cheers
