In this article, published by The Scientist, a summary of the results of a whole genome
analysis of Cheddar Man is given. Researchers at London’s Natural
History Museum and University College
London analyzed a bone powder sample to identify phenotypes for a facial
model construction. The article states that the analysis suggests the
Cheddar Man was dark skinned, blue eyed, dark and curly haired, and
lactose intolerant in adulthood. A documentary on the experimentation
and a scientific paper are expected to be released in the near future.
