Scientists have put a smiling face to one of the first human residents of Great Britain.
At 10,000 years old, "Cheddar Man" is one of the oldest known
Homo sapiens found in England, as well as being one of the most complete skeletons. Ancient DNA reveals that he had a striking combination of dark skin and pale eyes. In a new facial reconstruction, modelers at Kennis & Kennis Reconstructions worked with Britain's Natural History Museum to sculpt the Mesolithic man's face shape, down to a closed-mouthed smile and long, dark hair.
"He is just one person, but also indicative of the population of Europe at the time," Tom Booth, a postdoctoral researcher in paleobiology at the museum,
said in a statement. "They had dark skin, and most of them had
pale-colored eyes, either blue or green, and dark brown hair."
