[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tyrannohotep: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] My question still goes unanswered. Exactly how dark was Cheddar Man? Was he as 'black' as they make him out to be?? [/qb][/QUOTE]We would probably need a more complete genome before we can pinpoint his exact complexion. But this was from the original paper (see [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=009888]this thread[/URL]): [QUOTE]We predicted pigmentation characteristics for Cheddar Man and Sven using Hirisplex and a recently-developed method for predicting skin pigmentation26. Previously, predictions on the level of skin pigmentation were mostly derived using two SNPs in SLC45A2 and SLC24A5 that indicate lack of hypo-pigmentation when in the ancestral state. However, here we integrate 36 rather than 2 SNPs allowing more precise prediction. [qb]Cheddar Man is predicted to have had dark or dark to black skin, blue/green eyes and dark brown possibly black hair,[/qb] whereas Sven most likely had intermediate to dark skin pigmentation, brown eyes and black possibly dark brown hair (see Pigmentation section in the Supplementary Materials for a detailed discussion of the results). This is in line with the current hypothesis that alleles commonly associated with lighter skin were introduced in Western Europe by ANFs.[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
