After a 23-year-old man was killed by an injury to the face, members of his family laid his body in a cave in southwest England, where he remained undiscovered for years.
Now, some 90 centuries and 300 generations later, scientists from Oxford University are discovering some unexpected secrets about the young man. They have been using DNA analysis to learn more about his life. Despite the age of the skeleton, the team were able to a particular gene which is passed directly down the mother’s family line. At the end of a major involving months of work, one of the scientists decided to test a group of people born and raised in the local , just for the fun of it. He never imagined that one of those people, history teacher Adrian Targett, would be directly related to the 9,000-year-old man.
Targett admitted he was shocked to learn of his family connection to the body in the caves. The bones have since been studied by a police artist, who was able to a picture of the caveman’s face from the bones. Any similarities in appearance between Mr Targett and his relative were harder to find.
