Ancient People

  Archaic specimen found in Denmark, dated to the Maglesmosian culture, around 8000 BC. Skeletal analysis indicates that he was around  1.5  - 1.6 meters tall (5'4), and estimated age of death is between 20 -25.  He was buried in a bog. 

  Cheddar Man, Western Hunter Gatherer specimen, found in Goughs cave, Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, UK. Dated to being alive in the Mesolithic period. Nuclear DNA analysis indicates that he was a typical Western Hunter Gatherer, with lactose intolerance, probably with light coloured eyes (blue/green/hazel) and black to brown skin/hair.  Western Hunter Gatherers contribute around 10-20% to modern European genetics/ancestry, and have been largely replaced by incoming Neolithic Farmer populations from the Levant, and Yamnaya Pastoralists who might have origins from Eastern Eurasia.  Cheddar Man's Y DNA, belonged to an ancient sister branch to the modern I2 - L38, called I2a2, I2a2 is still persisting in modern European populations. His mitochondrial haplogroup was U5b1, which was common in Mesolithic European Hunter Gatherers, but is rare in modern European populations. 

  Ariche, Phoenician specimen found in Tunisa , in a burial crypt, near the National Museum of Carthage, analysis of his skeletal remains suggest he was 1.7 meters tall (5'6), and of a sturdy build.  His estimated age of death, is between 19 - 26.   He was discovered to belong to the mitochondrial haplogroup U5b2cl, which is considered to be an ancient haplogroup, common to the hunter gatherer populations of Europe. It's occurrence is extremely rare in modern populations.  

Pestera Cu Oase, meaning "The Cave with Bones", in Romanian, is an archeological site in Romania, near the city Anina, in Caras Severin County, in South Western Romania,  and is home to archaic Homo Sapiens remains. Who are simply named Oase, with different numerical values.   These specimens seem to have a genetic affinity to the Onge Negritos in the Andaman Islands, and their related cousins such as the tribal South Indians. This could be explained by a migration wave out of South Asia, and into pre historic Europe, as some shared ancestry between these divergent groups is the only explanation for why they're related. The Onge Negritos resemble African pygmies, Oase 2 most likely was a morphological mix of Negrito/Negro types, and early West Eurasian types that were somewhat resembling the Australian Aborigines. All prehistoric Eurasians seem to come from Australoid/Negrito spheres in South Asia.  In 2015, genetics research, revealed that the related Oase 1 fossil had a

Kostenki 14 or K 14, was a short dark featured man, alive approximately 36'000 years ago, who died along the Middle Don River, in Kostenki - Borshchevo, Russia. Hence his name Kostenki.  Had 1% more Neanderthal DNA, compared to modern populations, and was genetically related to South Asians. Specifically Pakistanis, and maybe Afghans as well, clustered amongst them on genetic/PCA tests. Suggesting he had Basal Eurasian, and Australoid, really Indian/Veddoid heritage.  "Australoid" for your information, is an umbrella term encompassing South Asians, Papuans, Australian Aborigines, and other groups in the Pacific region.  Who are all linked by a common migration wave out of Africa, and ancestral descent from similar populations. Kostenki 14 is considered to be one of the founding ancestors of modern Europeans. 

Brief info on Cro Magnons: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cro-Magnon Europeans lost a high amount of their pre historic genetics/ancestral components (Neanderthal, Cro Magnon, other archaic admixtures), after mixing with Neolithic farmers and other migratory peoples:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-36150502 Some smart polish guy discussing the genetic contributions of Cro Magnon specimens,  you can trust him: https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/141130616/#141188929 https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/141130616/#141186505 Here's some reconstructions of Cro Magnons and other archaic specimens: https://www.livescience.com/64620-ancient-britons-facial-reconstruction.html https://www.deviantart.com/philipedwin/art/Cro-magnon-861314699
