[QUOTE]Originally posted by Punos_Rey: [QB] This is article may be of some interest. Especially this tidbit regarding her features: [QUOTE]"Jensen was surprised by the quality of the DNA pulled from the pitch, but he was equally amazed by the story embedded within. Lola, whose age could not be determined, had blue eyes, dark hair, and dark skin. Fascinatingly, her lineage was traced to mainland Europe and not central Scandinavia. “Lola’s features were common amongst individuals of Western Hunter-Gatherers, who lived in central Europe at that time and beyond,” said Jensen. As the authors noted in the study, dark skin has been documented before in other European hunter-gathers, “suggesting that this [trait] was widespread in Mesolithic Europe and that the adaptive spread of light skin pigmentation in European populations only occurred later in prehistory"[/QUOTE] https://gizmodo.com/scientists-reconstruct-lola-after-finding-her-dna-in-1840481633/amp [/QB][/QUOTE]
