Actually, what the skin colour of Cheddar man was or was not is unknown. Scientific techniques are not yet advanced enough to determine such details as yet.

@SMITHSONIAN33 The Lion was used as a symbol from the time of Henry I onwards, and the three Lions was introduced by Richard I, 'The Lionheart.' Lions in the 11th & 12 Century were encounted in the Middle East, and probably came to the notice of the Plantagenets from the time of the Crusades.

Indeed, of course we did. William the Conqueror, for example, was born in Nairobi.

@SMITHSONIAN33 Well, one of us needs to do some research, that is for sure. 'The lion symbolism was used right throughout Europe's Royal Houses.' Indeed it was. The Lion has appeared in Egyptian & Greek art from as far back as the third millennium BC, and probably even earlier. Perhaps because at the time, and perhaps until as late as the 4th Century AD, Lions were to be found in Greece, Ukraine, and the Balkans, as well as the Middle East, or, if you prefer it, the area known by Crusaders as 'The Holy Land.' The Lion also appears in Buddhist & Hindu religious texts, and in Babylonian and Egyptian artwork, tomb paintings, and carvings going back as far as c3500 BC. Your belief that 'only place with Lions is Africa' is, frankly, absurd.

@VexOoo-x7y It isn't qwll known at all. Geneticist Susan Walsh at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, said that 'DNA testing is not advanced enough to say for certain. She works in the field. Walsh is an associate professor of biology at Indiana University Indianapolis (IUI), IN, where her laboratory focuses on understanding the genetics of human physical appearance, from pigment to facial structure, and its prediction from DNA. Of course, you know better, I suppose?

@VexOoo-x7y I am not denying facts, but simply pointing out that the skin colour of Cheddar Man cannot be determined, given the current level of scientific research. Why, by the way, do you think that it matters overmuch? Incidentally, a probable descendant of Cheddar man , at least according to DNA, was found living in the same area some years ago. You can even see a photograph should you wish. Not that it matters overmuch in any case. I wonder, by the way, what is your opinion of Beachy Head Lady?

The largest 'race' in the world is the Han Chinese, who represent approximately 19% of the world's population. Ther number of 'black' and 'white' people, both at around 1.2 billion, is approximately equal. Perhaps you seek to lump all non-white races into one homogeneous block in order to make your false claim?

@SMITHSONIAN33 No, I don't. However, feel free to explain the relevance of 'Moorhouse.'

@SMITHSONIAN33 Remember your first post, mon brave? Didn't you write 'Iconoclasm, ask Mr Webb where did the three lions symbolism came from, only place with Lions is Africa ? Read more talk less ;)' I simply pointed out that Lions were not restricted to Africa, as you apparently fantasised. Heraldry, by the way, is totally irrelevant, as it only seems to have appeared from the 12th Century AD., with the earliest documented example being when King Henry I of England presented a shield with a coat of arms to his future son-in-law, Geoffrey of Anjou, in 1127. Oh, and if you seek to teach others, perhaps you might get a little aid with grammar and spelling, as this might not come amiss?

@SMITHSONIAN33 'as for the Lion's , I stand by what is written.' Then you simply admit your ignorance. Oh, and you really need to do something about that ' in Lion's. You still, by the way, haven't explained the relevance of Heraldry to your bizarre claim about lions. Think you for calling me a child, as it is many years since I left university (Manchester), with a First in Modern History.
