Cheddar Man
In 2018, scientists attempted to reconstruct Cheddar Man's face using modern forensic techniques and DNA analysis. Based on the limited data available, the reconstruction revealed that Cheddar Man had dark skin, blue eyes, and dark, curly hair. However, it's important to note that the interpretation of his appearance remains controversial and inconclusive. Some critics have questioned the accuracy of the reconstruction, arguing that it was speculative and based on limited evidence.
