        It really should be, dodging stalactites and stalagmites and chucking big lumps of cheese at funky kong. It would be awesome!

        I guess people forget white skin is a genetic mutation and pretty much everyone was dark skinned millions of years ago...

        We're all originally from the Motherland, Africa. Trump thinks the entire continent is a shithole but, what he doesn't know, it's his shithole too. 😀

        Quite weird. Because dark/black skin gene comes to 'Cheddar Man' from millions years ago, the same DNA theory tells. This means it is very much 'strong'. Later, in just 10.000 years, this gene turns in its opposite: pale skin, light straight hair... is it strong or is it weak?

        It all depend on the gene for it to be strong or not but when different race gets mixed that's where the DNA changes for you to find someone to have different features. As you can see there is a family who are light skinned yet the kids turn out to be dark skinned with blue eyes.

        not talking about families,talking about human evolution. About h. sapiens leaving Africa 300.000 y. ago,then spreading everywhere,very slowly. 12.000 years ago,or more,reaching GB, everybody still 'black' cause of origin. Then turning suddenly. No plane to mix. Nor even horses.

        Yep in one of my tweet I explained it of how things changed in the human evolution and how it came to be. Guess you missed it that's ok then.

        ok, so human evolution changes pace ad libitum, maybe in order to meet DNA theory... sometimes it's very very fast, sometimes very very slow... weird theory.

        It's just simple you see, the more humans increase in population the more you find the DNA changes in different category but also a slight of environmental changes can change how the race of mankind changes in different features.

        we must imagine, then, no climate changes for millions of years, before... cause gene remained the same... not even during very slow and very wide migration, lasting hundreds thousands years, by H. sapiens out of Africa. Everything happend in Britain, in just 10.000 years.

        Just bcuz there was no climate changes or was doesn't mean the climate can't cause the human race to have a slight of exposure with the weather as you can see the cheddar man had brown hair he might have been born with it or sun exposure & less hygiene but there are other factors
