[Scientists examining the DNA of
ancient remains find surprising
new evidence of how early
Europeans had dark skin and blue eyes.
Experts were shocked when genetic
tests on a hunter-gatherer who
lived
7,000 years ago found
his dark hair and skin were
combined with bright blue eyes.
It was previously thought
that early Europeans were fair.
The research has been led by
the Institute of Evolutionary Biology
in Spain and is published in
the journal Nature.
The lead author, Dr Carles Lalueza-Fox,
said: "One explanation is that the lighter
skin colour evolved much later than was
previously assumed." ]
