    I think it was unlikely the Cheddar man had dark skin. I think scientists did a DNA test around 2016 which concluded there was a low probability of them having dark skin and most certainly having blue eyes. So Channel 4 at the time took this and ran mile with it and produced a dark skinned sculpter for their documentary that you've shown in this video.

      The blacks have no history no achievements since their creation. They do this to try and make them feel comfortable but it’s all lies. Even with recent history say 300 years ago they always imply they were many black people here at that time which of course is not true. They have books at school teaching children that they invented this that and the other and that they have always been here which of course is not true again. When I was at school this was never taught this why. On top of that you get a program like this telling lies again. Only time the species came to Great Britain in numbers was 1948. It was Germany who fired the final shot after the war they built the Windrush😩😩😩 well you didn’t think it was an African ship did you.

      I believe they are figuring out to a degree ones Scottish heritage by the family histories of people who have taking the DNA test and comparing. So we can notice that some Scots with a typical French or English dna pattern or haplogroup could be well recognized as actually Scottish do to that pattern , and family being well recognized in that area. It helps to actually know your family history and my DNA patterns are pretty close to my own family tree and history patterns.

      @@johnpatrick5307 That's what I thought you were getting at. Yes I'm aware that the actual ethnic group Scoti came from Ireland and that Scotland gets its name from this Irish group of people. Being many cultural groups settled in Scotland besides the Scoti they must make account of that when looking at modern Scottish genetics as well as certain genetics of different regions of Scotland that has a different culture and genetic history. For example my "Scottish ancestry matches close with my DNA percentage and family history from what I have researched. I'm mostly of lowland Scots heritage and I would have Scoti ancestors but a good percentage being that they were mostly from Southwest Scotland is actually Strathclyde Briton, and Anglo-Norman so in determining how much Scottish DNA one has could be tricky and they must take this in account as well as family histories in certain areas. Without that knowledge DNA could be very misleading and not represent well your actual family history. My mother is an American Montgomery of Scots ancestry and her mother a Wallace also of Scots ancestry predominantly. My father is mostly of English ancestry with a high minority of Scottish ancestry as well. So 38% Scottish and 32% English seems fairly reasonable knowing my family tree but like I said it makes you wonder just how exactly they come by those percentages and what determines that number.

    Cheddar man looks a lot different to other depictions of their western hunter gatherers from this time i wonder why the British geneticists decided to give him much darker skin, when they have no way of proving this was the case? The ancient Briton known as Cheddar Man, who lived around 10,000 years ago, is often depicted as having dark brown skin and blue eyes. However, the genetics of skin color are quite complex, and we can’t be entirely certain. While some news stories claim he had dark skin, one of the geneticists involved in the research suggests that we still have much to learn about the skin color of ancient humans. His remains were discovered in Gough’s Cave in Somerset, England.

    The Celts (pronounced "Kelts) have a long a complicated history within the British Isles. It is believed that there were two invasions of Celts, one from Iberia to Ireland probably via the west coast of Europe and another group who came across the Channel from France. There an amazing genetic difference between the Welsh and say the Scots who are both classified as Celts. Regarding the people of Liverpool a lot of Irish people immigrated there in the 19th Century to avoid The Famine and later to find work. The "Liverpool Irish" are recent arrivals not an ancient population.

    The majority of English people have less than 25% Germanic DNA especially in regions not in the heavily settled south east . The Anglo Saxon’s left a genetic legacy but England still retains it’s Celtic genetic identity. Due to the nuance of history those whom are ancestrally from the south east for generations at most tend to have 40% Germanic DNA according to a recent study . The history of the isles is diverse and nuanced but England’s identity is more of a cultural heritage than a Genetic one . The Vikings and others left a legacy as well in some regions on par with those heavily Anglo Saxon areas but that legacy is often just a footnote even to their decedents. The British and Irish isles share a very similar genetic make up especially due to Viking Settlement in Ireland .
