Early Britains weren't so white after all.

Yeah. It's turned me into a non-racist.
However, I do believe I'm displaying more than a modicum of commonsense in saying that you can't deduce skin colour of most of a population just on the basis of one skeleton.
What makes me laugh is that when it's revealed that Cheddar Man was black the British media, such as The Daily Mail, celebrate it, saying things like "that'll show those racist Brexit-voting bigots."
But when, at the same time, a facial reconstruction of Egyptian pharaoh Nefertiti shows she was fair-skinned rather than black (Ancient Egypt being a very multicultural society), the British press come out and say, absurdly, that it is "controversial".

Many experts now believe that Europe was the birthplace of mankind. Google it and have a look.
That's not the false claim I was referring to.
I was obviously referring to the false claim that I quoted in your post.
The one about how the OP headline makes a sweeping generalization about the skin colour of all humans during a certain period of time when, semantically, it doesn't.
Do I really need to point out something so obvious?

Are you sure you understand English?
The thread title doesn't imply that all humans during this period were black and neither does the linked article.
That was just your triggered, kneejerk reaction.

Yes, you're right. It doesn't imply such a thing.
It implies that all Britons were black.
It doesn't imply that either.
It implies that they may not all have been white during that period.

Actually it's obvious you don't. I made that the title to state that early Britains, despite people believing they were white, weren't all white after all.
Oh, and BTW

From the article:
Again, seems like early Britians weren't so white after all.
so in the past the royals were dark skinned.
They're not even Briton.
Saxe Cobourg Gotha, Ja?
Well that's immigration for you. A wave of white immigrants came to the country long ago and turned the country white. Of course, immigration policy in the Mesolithic and Neolithic eras have no bearing on Britain's immigration policy today. Immigration still needs to be massively cut.
LOLOL!
So instead of actually saying "Well damn, okay, maybe Britain wasn't so white after all, my bad", you come out with this?
Wanker.
It's all a corollary on the whacko Brexit shyte, you know, "the Wogs start at Calais" sort of shyte.
