Cheddar Man - was he one of us? - Mark Thomas, Professor of Evolutionary Genetics, U.C.L.
The human male fossil found in Gough's Cave, Cheddar Gorge is dated circa 9100 BP and is Britain's oldest known complete skeleton. His DNA shows he has existing descendants in the modern population but differs noticeably from them in appearance and was lactose intolerant - unable to digest milk. How did we get to the point where milk and dairy products form a staple part of our diet?
