So, was Cheddar Man black? Was he not? How do we know whether he was/wasn't?
>>
>>18492230
No, they made this reconstruction way blacker than he would’ve been and in all the press releases they fucked with the lighting to make it look blacker than the actual reconstructed model.

Not saying he was an aryan ubersoldat n shiet but he wasn’t that dark.
>>
> black
Racially? Absolutely not.
In skin tone? No, though you probably would've noticed quite quickly that he was darker than your typical euro.

Reconstructions like that in your attached pic are sensationalized; there's no evidence for him being *that* dark.
>>
>>18492233
do we know how dark he would've actually been?

Mesolithic Europeans definitely had dark skin, probably similar to the tanned colour of the Algonquian people in North America. We also know blue eyes was a common trait among them. Cheddar man was made black cause it was anglos that excavated him, if he was from the mainland they would have a more truthful reconstruction.
>>
>>18492230
No.

Cheddar Man did not look like that, he would have been apart of the Bell Beaker population that where the first inhabitants of the British Isles who where still light skin, even if they where not as light skinned as the Indo-Europeans that conquered Europe. The reason why they portrayed him as dark skinned was because it's part of there plan too justify mass immigration from Africa by claiming one man was "black."

Though that facial reconstruction doesn't look anything like a Sub Saharan African Bantu which is what most people refer to when they say black, his hair is straight and his facial features are Caucasoid, it's almost as if they just made a Caucasoid with long hair and covered him in mud.

On the contrary, even if he was black, that wouldn't justify mass migration into the British Isles and Brits would not benefit from that.

Also Cheddar Man was not British, yes his remains may have been found in Britain but that land would not have been called Britain back then, that's like calling a Romano Briton who lived before the Anglo-Saxon invasion into the British Isles an English man just because he lives in land that would become part of modern day England.

I hope this helps.

As >>18492253 said, the natives of North America might be a good example. They didn’t have the light skin alleles like modern Europeans had. They had brown skin, but they lived in a northern climate like WHGs would have, so it wasn’t like those of say an Arabian or African.

>>18492230
He was of Anatolian origin.
He would have looked Greek, or Western Turkish.
Anything darker is just propaganda.
>>
>>18492284
he was actually of indian origin, but of kashmiri stock, so he wouldn't have looked this dark
>>
>>18492230
People in general would be more tanned, not that dark, but your average pasty white brit would be alien. You work outside you get a tan

You have my condolences for your mental disability.

>>18492230
He didn't have neither the European nor Asian whiteness gene so he was an Eurasian with dark skin. How that looked like during his life is anyone's guess but that sort of chocolate color is how that manifests in Abbos in Australia (who are also an Eurasian population lacking either gene due to isolation from the rest of the Eurasian/Ameridnian population).
But of course there's a world of a difference in UV exposure between Britain and Australia, so...

>>18492332
And what? Whites just magically appeared out of thin air 500 years ago? You brownoids and blacks are utterly retarded and your narratives are completely illogical.

>>18492339
That is not what they said at all.

> Sub Saharan African Bantu
Just say Niger-Congoid.

No, he wasn't (racially) black and how dark he was it's anyone's guess. However, an interesting fact about the WHG is that they were jeet-shifted relative to modern Euros.

>>18492346
The people from Nigeria Cameroon that conquered the Sub Saharan Africa and replaced the Nilos, Pygmies and Khoisian people.

The WHG derive most of their ancestry from K14 who was a tropical adapted nigga.

Take for example siberians populations and native americans for the skin color. Both these human lineages from Asia and America and those from Europe lived in the Paleolithic under similar climatic conditions and are related to some extent genetically, so it is plausible and parsimonious to extrapolate this type of pigmentation in European hunter-gatherers.

This is the pair of brothers who, in a biased manner, almost a decade ago in that distant year of 2018, created that reconstruction of the Cheddar Man.

crazy how blue eyes make them appear whiter despite the brown skin

They have light skin genes though. WHG didn't.
>>18492429
No. That's AI crap made by incels. Just whiten the skin of the original a bit. Or if you want to shit on hunterjeets for being low IQ and less accomplished than Africans post this one.
>>
>>18492604
Because that's not 'brown skin and it's just a Hollywood actor with a tan. Just because they might've exaggerated his skin color a bit in OP's reconstruction doesn't mean that AI shit is better.
>>
>>18492233
he lived during the ice ages, so he'd be white
>>
>>18492611
This art is genuinely just poorly done.
>>
>>18492284
no he wasn't
>>
>>18492230
we don't know what his skin colour would have been, and the researchers admitted that they made him look black to score political 'good boy points' and irritate the people they hate.
