dna suggests 10,000 year old brit had dark skin blue eyes

[dherd]

LONDON — Researchers say DNA from a 10,000-year-old skeleton found in an English cave suggests he had dark skin and blue eyes.

Scientists from Britain's Natural History Museum and University College London have analyzed the genome of "Cheddar Man," who was found in Cheddar Gorge in southwest England in 1903. It is the oldest complete skeleton found in Britain.

Scientists led by museum DNA expert Ian Barnes drilled into the skull to extract DNA from bone powder. They say analysis indicates he had blue eyes, dark curly hair and "dark to black" skin pigmentation.

The researchers said Wednesday that the evidence suggests that Europeans' pale skin tones developed much later than previously thought.

The findings will be shown in a documentary on Britain's Channel 4 television on Feb. 18.

So what, is that supposed to make “Anglo’s” upset. Why would anyone even care.

One of the greatest scenes in film making from one of my all time favorite movies. Christopher Walken at his best too imo.

someone obviously cares - they are doing a tv special about it. just an interesting
little factoid, pigmentation changes occurred much later than thought.

"Cheddar Man subverts people's expectations of what kinds of genetic traits go together," said Tom Booth, a postdoctoral researcher at the museum who worked on the project.

"It seems that pale eyes entered Europe long before pale skin or blond hair, which didn't come along until after the arrival of farming."

"He reminds us that you can't make assumptions about what people looked like in the past based on what people look like in the present, and that the pairings of features we are used to seeing today aren't something that's fixed," Booth said on the museum website.

It's thought ancient humans living in northern regions developed pale skin because it absorbs more sunlight, which is needed to produce vitamin D.

I DONT KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO BREAK THIS TO MY USED TO BE IN THE KKK UNCLE.

 

[mlblack16.]

What doesn't make sense is lighter eye colors equate to greater sensitivity. This contradicts evolutionary rationale for someone to have such dark skin, but blue eyes. This could be an anomaly and not indicative of the population.

For the record, I find this stuff very interesting, so I'm not trying to debunk or discredit.

hilarious. True Romance one of the best movies many people have never heard of

Earths only 6000 years old. So this is the very definition of fake news well atleast according to a couple of posters on here

 

[i am herdman]

That means Fever is my brother.

 

[Brushy Bill]

Earths only 6000 years old.

Yep

 

[countryroads89]

Yep

You honestly believe that?

 

[extragreen]

You honestly believe that?

Yes I do. The Bible contains a recorded genealogy beginning with Adam all the way to Christ.

 

[big_country90]

Yes I do. The Bible contains a recorded genealogy beginning with Adam all the way to Christ.

Where does Xenu fit in? I don't recall reading about him in Genesis.

 

[extragreen]

Where does Xenu fit in? I don't recall reading about him in Genesis.

I think he fits in there right beside your god, mammon. Not that I believe you read the Bible, much less understand it.

 

[herdfan429]

That’s a good question. Extra do you just pick and choose which aspects of each religion to believe? How do you justify L Ron’s “creation” story about Xenu and aliens coming to earth billions of years ago with the 6000 year old earth?

 

[big_country90]

I think he fits in there right beside your god, mammon. Not that I believe you read the Bible, much less understand it.

Xenu came to earth 75 million years ago, so how can the earth only be 6,000 years old? You do believe both, after all.

So which is it?

 

[countryroads89]

Yes I do. The Bible contains a recorded genealogy beginning with Adam all the way to Christ.

You need to sit down with a geologist. There are even Christian geologists, many if not practically all, who laugh at the idea of the earth only being 6,000 years old. It is widely accepted in the scientific community that the earth is approximately 4.5 Billion years old.

6,000 LMAO!

1. I believe every single word in the KJV Bible is the infallible word of God and that all of that Bible directly or indirectly points to Jesus Christ.
2. In the meantime, you continue to be a moron who doesn't understand that nothing in scientology requires belief.

You don't believe or understand #1 and don't understand #2.

serious question: why follow something if you don't believe in it, especially when its teachings are in direct contradiction to what you do believe?

They have the right to believe what they like. I'll get the last laugh.

Because it's not something you follow, it's something you DO.

No, trust me, we are laughing at you. BIGLY!

Do you actually think that bothers me? Do you also believe that life originated in the primordial mud?

So kjv trumps the original texts in your opinion? And your second point is complete crap. You believe auditing helps. Or as any normal person not brainwashed would call it, counseling

 

[countryroads89]

Do you actually think that bothers me? Do you also believe that life originated in the primordial mud?

I believe single-celled life form began around 4.2 billion years ago, in the Hadean time period. I believe multi-cellular life began around 1.5 billion years ago. They have fossils of bats dating back over 52 million years ago. If the earth didn't even exist beyond 6,000 years ago, how did they find fossils of bats dating back 52 million years? LMAO!

They have skeletons of Homo sapiens dating back around 300,000 years ago. LOL. Open your mind.

I believe (you know as in "belief") the translation of the KJV was done with divine guidance.

And my second point is total fact. I don't believe auditing helps, I KNOW that it does. Or as any normal person, not a moron, would call it experience, or observation.

Cool. Where did the "life" part come from for the cells?

Scientology disagrees with you, as I pointed out earlier from their very own website.

You make no sense whatsoever. If you don’t “believe” in it then what do you call it?

And why would L. Ron even tell the story of Xenu if he didn’t want people to believe him?

Just because you believe it to be a fact doesn't make it a fact.

So, you're going to double down on your previous lie. I expect nothing more from you.

You make no sense whatsoever. If you don’t “believe” in it then what do you call it?

I would call it knowledge, as in I've experienced some of it. How many times and ways does it take for that to penetrate that thick skull of yours?

And why would L. Ron even tell the story of Xenu if he didn’t want people to believe him?

I know about as much about that story as you do, which is very, very little. I suspect that story is a explanation of what he experienced during his auditing experience. All of what you experience in auditing can't be factually or properly explained, and I know that as a fact. It is what it is to the person being audited. If a person continues being audited long enough, they'll experience things that didn't happen to them in this lifetime. <Fact. What those things are is irrelevant, it is the result that matters. There is absolutely no need to believe in the xenu story. None. Now, ask another stupid question....

 

[extragreen]

Just because you believe it to be a fact doesn't make it a fact.

Is it a fact that at some time in your life that you've experienced happiness?

how do you address your audit findings? i've had to type up a damn report in the past explaining how we'll address the issue. you have to type up a report?

 

[extragreen]

how do you address your audit findings?

Not sure what you're asking here. An auditing session consists of the auditor always being in communication with the person being audited. The auditor asks particular questions and gets a response from me if I'm the one being audited. The auditor acknowledges my response and continues with the process. The auditor keeps notes about the session as to what is asked, the response, and the reaction. After the session, the auditor takes the notes and turns them over to the case supervisor, who inspects them to make sure the auditor did his/her job, that progress is being made, and the person being audited is happy about the session.

know a guy that attended a session like that in order to get the supervised part of his supervised visitation with his children lifted. courts frowned on him allowing his 10 y.o. son drive him home while he was having a beer or six.

what was your shrink's name?

If any of you guys have access to HBO I would recommend watching the documentary Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief . It's a fascinating look at how Scientology actually works.

Now I can't explain the Xenu weird shit, but from what I have learned is Scientology is not actually a religion. It's a sort of weird motivational thing to get you to accomplish what you want in life.

They, as in the founders and what not, call it a religion for one specific purpose. To be tax exempt.

I don't have all the answers to it and won't pretend to.

Extra, would classify most people on here as SP's ?
