who was an intact cave buried skeleton near Cheshire, Englsng roughly 8,000 years ago. They were able to get enough DNA to establish his coloring and even match his Y-haplogroup to a man living in the area today.

They also did a forensic reconstruction of his face. I can't say he was handsomme. but with his brown skin, black hair, and blue eyes. he was certainly an interesting looking man.
