  1. Well those WHGs weren't white like modern Europeans but darker. However not that black shoe polish dark.

  2. I don't think he looked like that. I mean his skin color is overdone, Cheddar Man lacked the two SNP results that most Europeans have today that give Europeans lighter skin, but there are other SNPs that affect pigmentation to a lesser extent but they are present in Cheddar Man. So, I would say Cheddar Man was darker than Europeans today, but more like the color of an average South Asian, a light brown color. His eyes could have been blue, but again there are other SNPs than the ones they chose solely that affect eye color. Cheddar Man could have had green, hazel even brown eyes depending on the results of those other SNPs. I consider those people rather naive and rather immature to just run with the results of a few SNPs to come up with their blackfaced model.

  3. What's the matter? Small cock syndrome.

  4. They had no domestic animals to get milk from and those ancient Aurochs were so large that the animal could of feed those HGs for quite a while.
