Most of us know that English is predominantly white. In fact, scientists found the first modern British to have "dark to black" skin.
This is revealed by the discovery of a body of 10,000 years old. This is the oldest complete skeleton in England, known as Cheddar Man, discovered more than a century ago at Gough's Cave in Somerset.
His DNA examination had never been done, along with the fossil reconstruction of the face, indicating that the young man had darker-than-expected skin, with blue eyes and dark curly hair.
