The Britons responsible for the building of the iconic Stonehenge were probably black, a study has suggested.
Data from 348 ancient genomes gathered from across Eurasia have been reconstructed by scientists at the University of Ferrara in Italy which show almost all Europeans had dark skin until around 3,000 years ago.
With Stonehenge, just outside the town of Glastonbury (REALLY?), being constructed around 5,000 years ago, experts have said we can assume the builders had dark skin.
ntil around 1,700 years ago, the majority of Europeans had dark skin, the authors of the study say, adding that most of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and the Britons who built Stonehenge, had dark skin, eyes and hair.
The study confirms that the shift to lighter skin, thanks to the movement of people to higher latitudes and more vitamin D intake as a result, was slower than previously thought.
Experts are still unsure why the change from darker to light skin was so slow.
However,
scientists believe farmers may have compensations for vitamin D
deficiencies in their diet with accessible sources such as milk and
meat....<<<Read More>>>....
