Stacy and Eric discuss various monthlong holidays like Men's Health Month, and Dairy Month: the good news is Eric has finally gone to the doctor/dentist, the bad news is dairy is the nemesis he chooses to ignore unless it's a documentary about Cheddar Man. Talk of Garfield puts Eric in a white-hot rage and leads him to confuse the show Whitechapel with a bodice ripper. They finally talk about conspiracy theories; what are they, ones of note, who perpetuates them, and which ones where proven true. Did you know about New Coke, liquor being poisoned by manufacturers during prohibition, and the E.T. game by Atari buried in a New Mexico landfill?

Critical Thinking - Black History Month Special - Who is Black & Why it matters? (Part 2) Black Spy Podcast - Season 12, Episode 0002   This week's episode of the black spy podcast is a critical thinking episode for Black History Month, in which Carlton asks – who is it Black and why does it matter? Carlton looks at the politics of blackness including who has decided who is and isn't classed as “Black” through the centuries. Moreover, in terms of a phenotype, what do Black people look like. Carlton asks if its credible that Black people are only seen as one absolutely particular type of ethnic group with no variation of skin colour in nose shape, lip shape etc; whereas White people (Caucasians) can be of any hair colour blonde, dark, ginger to curly hair, to straight hair. They can have thin or thick lips, narrow, wide or hook noses and all forms of face shape. Moreover, the Europeans who ‘classified' the as so called races, even allowed people with very white and very dark skin colour to be classified as White, because they were from a people perceived a capable in the 17th and 18th centuries. These unscientific discrepancies between phenotype classifications can clearly no longer stand? Therefore in this episode, Carlton seeks to challenge this one sided view, which by the way isn't maintained when it suited the post 17th Century colonial elites, slaveholders, plantocracy and pseudo-scientists that proclaimed the inferiority of the so called Black (Negro) ‘race', and the superiority of the obviously flawed White race classification. Hence, Carlton explains why this outdated concept can no longer stand and why Black historical figures and empires throughout the ages need to be reclaimed! Carlton explains how being Black has been defined in various countries particularly the United states and how, just one drop of black blood was perceived to be sufficient to make a person legally and officially Black. This one drop was defined in many US states a person with 1/64th of a Black ancestor, 1/32nd Black ancestry, 1/16th or a minimum of 1/8th Black ancestry made a person Black. Additionally, this episode also assesses what Carlton calls the ‘Balance Theory'. Carlton's Balance Theory explains how Black, White and other peoples of Colour have had transmitted to them, by slave trade and colonial White rulers, that Black people are ignorant, lazy, childlike, feckless and uneducated, and that they have never invented or developed anything. They have also been told that Blacks are criminal and duplicitous. These anti-black views have been transmitted to all peoples for over 350 years, since the African Slave Trade, Colonialism up until at least the late 1970's. Carlton explores all these issues and many more. He assesses the effect on every day interactions with police, teachers or employers and others, who due to the extremely low expectation of Black people mentioned above, these important intermediaries, due to these attitudes see Black people as suspicious and of limited ability. Hence, what Carlton calls the ‘muck of ages' affects relations today. Finally, Carlton notes that this negativity against Black people has also been transmitted to Black people themselves, so they too suffer from the same prejudices brought about by the muck of ages. Note: The picture attached is a facial reconstruction of Jesus Christ by forensic reconstruction experts. The reconstruction is not dissimilar to that of the facial reconstruction first British man known as Cheddar Man, albeit Cheddar man is shown to be even blacker than Jesus.

In 2018 ancient DNA researchers revealed their analysis of a 10,000 year old skeleton called Cheddar Man. He was the oldest complete skeleton ever discovered in England, and the revelation that he had dark skin challenged assumptions many people had about what the earliest people in Britain looked like. 

How far back does the story of black people in Britain stretch? Who was Cheddar Man? And what evidence do we have of black people in the medieval and Tudor eras? Historian Hannah Cusworth answers your top questions about black British history, in conversation with Charlotte Hodgman. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thousand-year-old Peruvian queens and medieval murder victims may seem lost to time, but history “detectives” are on a mission to solve a mystery: What did those people look like? We hear from Oscar Nilsson, a forensic facial reconstructionist who uses a combination of science and art to re-create the faces of our ancestors. For more information on this episode, visit natgeo.com/overheard. Want more? Oscar Nilsson's reconstructions of Cheddar Man, Bocksten Man and others can be seen at his website odnilsson.com. Also explore:  When an explorer uncovered the skeleton of an ancient Peruvian queen in a tomb in Peru, they asked Nilsson to make a recreation of her. Uncover the story here. 8,000 years ago, a man's bones were used in a ritual in Scandinavia. Take a look at Nilsson's recreation of him.

In this fun-filled episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Mark Lindsay opens the discussion by talking about Doggerland. How much do we know about it, really? That brings forth the topic of human migration, Cheddar Man, and Mesolithic era mankind in the British isles. Next, Eloy Escagedo shares the history of his great uncle, who brought the first electrical service into his home town in Cuba. From there, the hosts branch off into several different topics that all seem to revolve around life in smaller towns, leaving us wondering if we can ever go home, or can home leave us, never to return.All in all, the Trampled Underfoot Podcast crew spend a lot of time living in the past, which is kind of what they do best. Come along on the journey to hear for yourself!

This episode, with guest Australian-based Diane Broinshtein, is one of two halves. Diane woke up early to talk about her trip with Ben to the oldest site in the landmarks book, Gough's Cave in Cheddar Gorge, where the remain of a Mesolithic (7100BC) man was found in the Victorian era. To balance the books, Diane's alternative landmark brings us right up to the 21 century with some famous street art.

A near complete skeleton has been found in a cave. DNA sequencing has dated it to the Mesolithic Era of Great Britain (9,000 years ago). During that DNA sequencing it is also found that, in the same city, lives a history teacher who is likely related to Britain's oldest complete skeleton. But the plot twists don't end there!

Episode 38 of the Counties of England podcast covering Cheddar Gorge and the Cheddar Man, the last pitched battle in British History and the Origins of the Glastonbury festival. This podcast was written, edited and narrated by me, Finn Gray. It is a year-long project I am tackling for my silver Duke of Edinburgh skills award. Further details about each of the counties can be found on my website: https://www.countiesofengland.co.uk I upload transcripts, maps of the counties and information I didn't have room for in the podcast. Most weeks I use information from Matthew Engel's excellent book: ‘Engel's England' (Profile Books, 2014). Music is from Tribe of Noise and the track I use at the start and end of each episode is ‘Tiny People' by Magnus Moone.

Today's episode is from our brilliant sibling podcast The Ancients. Cheddar Man is the oldest almost complete skeleton of a Homo sapien ever found in Britain and, for this fantastic episode, Tristan spoke to the scientist who has drilled a (very small) hole in him. Dr Selina Brace is a biologist who works with ancient and degraded DNA. At the Natural History Museum in London, where Cheddar Man currently resides, Selina and her team have been able to examine this iconic skeleton’s genetic makeup and deduce from it more information about the evolution of our species, as well as the lifestyles and even appearances of Homo sapiens moving from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic era.

Cheddar Man is the oldest almost complete skeleton of a Homo sapien ever found in Britain and, for this fantastic episode, Tristan spoke to the scientist who has drilled a (very small) hole in him. Dr Selina Brace is a biologist who works with ancient and degraded DNA. At the Natural History Museum in London, where Cheddar Man currently resides, Selina and her team have been able to examine this iconic skeleton’s genetic makeup and deduce from it more information about the evolution of our species, as well as the lifestyles and even appearances of Homo sapiens moving from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic era.For more visit: https://access.historyhit.com/videos/the-first-britons See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dr. Tom Booth specialises in analysing ancient DNA from archaeological human remains, teasing out all manner of information from diet and disease to migrations of people in the distant past. In fact, some of Tom’s recent research has even shed light on different funerary practices in the Bronze Age, revealing some fascinating discoveries about ways that people related to, or looked after the remains of their departed. (We first reported on this in a piece in the Prehistory Show #3. https://www.patreon.com/posts/prehistory-show-42771218) Tom's work is really bringing some clarity to the huge genetic shifts which took place in the major transition periods of the past and it’s remarkable how the study of ancient DNA is opening so many windows into the past. As is so often the case, we could have talked long enough to make half a dozen interviews. We hope you enjoy this one.

The UCW Ambush gets real this week, folks! Jimmy tells us how his Dad’s new hardwood floors were attacked by a giant lizard. The team revisits Woke James Bond, casting Wayne Gretzky, Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher, and Ben Johnson. How is Hollywood not making these movies? Piers has a story of the fossilized Cheddar Man, who predates cheese (go figure). Finally, Katherine complains about the Podcast's maternity leave policy and discusses the different maternity leave policies around the world.

Sophie (age 7) and Ellie (age 5) go back 15,000 years to tell of the Mesolithic Stone Age. The Ice Age is over. The world has completely changed from the Paleolithic Stone Age and the woolly mammoths of our last episode. ----more---- There are new seas like the English Channel.  The era of animals like the Woolly Mammoth is over. Trees cover the land. Humans are still hunter gatherers. But they are now more seasonal. They are better at making tools, especially more delicate tools of stone. But they also use more wood like for example making canoes.   We learn how they are starting to keep animals for assistance, especially the Dog. They clearly love their dogs so much as they are often buried with them.   We learn about the stone age settlement at Star Carr in Yorkshire. We discover Britain’s first ever house, a mysterious floating platform over a lake, and some spooky sets of scary skull and antler hats.   But the girls really want to get to know an actual Stone Age man. So we meet Cheddar Man. Found 100 years ago his skeleton is the oldest skeleton ever found in Britain. The girls are astonished to learn how much we know about him just from analysing his bones. In particular, he had dark skin and blue eyes but his face is covered in a terrible scar.   The episode ends with the start of the Neolithic period which will be our topic for next week.   If you liked this episode you might like to listen to our episode on the Paleolithic period. Apple: https://link.historystorytime.com/Apple-Paleolithic Other: https://link.historystorytime.com/Paleolithic   For listeners in Britain we have had lots of good feedback from teachers that this series is especially helpful for Key Stage 2 (KS2) learning.   NEW PATRONS’ CLUB – EXTRA EPISODES If you like History Storytime you might like to get involved with our Patrons’ Club.

Sophie (age 7) and Ellie (age 5) tell of the start of the Stone Age. Neanderthals, Woolly Mammoths and Sabre Tooth tigers roam the world for millions of years. But a new breed of humans, Homo Sapiens, comes out of Africa. Within a few tens of thousands of years they are the only human species left.----more----   We learn how early humans lived. We discover the Stone Age tools they use. We explore how to craft flint into useful tools like axes and even finer tools. We discover the food that Stone Age people ate. We explain different ways to light a fire. We learn that their diet and lifestyle was surprisingly healthy. We tell of the Stone Age Hunter Gatherer lifestyle and what it meant. We tell of their nomadic ways. We learn of the beautiful cave paintings that were made. We also have a proper look at the way in which early humans interacted with the famous Woolly mammoth.   We explore the impact that geography had. Firstly we learn about the Ice Age and its implications. Then we explore how the land masses were different then to now and how this facilitated migration.   We put the period in the context. Firstly we learn what makes the Stone Age different to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Then we learn what the relationship is between an Ice Age and the Stone Age. We explain how there are different periods of the Stone Age which sets up next week’s episode on the Mesolithic period.   This is the first of three episodes on the Stone Age, The next episode will focus on the Mesolithic period and explore the impact of the end of the Ice Age, how stone age people started to keep dogs and look at Cheddar Man. The final episode will look at the Neolithic period and show how humans settled down in places like Skara Brae and built monuments like Stonehenge.   This series of episodes is especially helpful for children studying Key Stage 2 / KS2 in English schools.

On this episode of Chardonnay and DNA, Becky and Rachael play *three* truths and a lie and they both stump each other. Becky tells us about the Cheddar Man and how his DNA unlocked secrets of humankind's history. Rachael shares some animals and Becky tells us about her newest conspiracy theory obsession.

UK camera and lens repair guy, Lyndon Booth of Londinium Cameras dropped in for a chat and to answer listener emails. We had a great time with Lyndon on his first appearance back in February 2019 and his latest visit does not disappoint either. As you may expect, there’s talk of early Britons, (possibly relatives of Lyndon), Einstein, and camera bugs (the living kind that go out on family trips). ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST

For our 100th episode, we welcome back science journalist Angela Saini, whose work deflates the myths we tell ourselves about science existing in an apolitical vacuum. With far-right nationalism and white supremacy on the rise around the world, pseudoscientific and pseudointellectual justifications for racism are on the rise—and troublingly mainstream. Race is a relatively recent concept, but dress it up in a white lab coat and it becomes an incredibly toxic justification for a whole range of policies, from health to immigration. It is tempting to dismiss white-supremacist cranks who chug milk to show their superior lactose tolerance, but it’s harder to do so when those in positions of power—like senior White House policy adviser Stephen Miller or pseudointellectual Jordan Peterson—spout the same rhetoric. The consequences can be more insidious, too: consider how we discuss the health outcomes for different groups of people as biological inevitabilities, not the results of social inequality. Drawing on archives and interviews with dozens of prominent scientists, Saini shows how race science never really left us—and that in 2019, scientists are as obsessed as ever with the vanishingly small biological differences between us. Go beyond the episode:Angela Saini’s Superior: The Return of Race ScienceMeet the Cheddar Man—and the many puns about his discovery in Cheddar Gorge—the first prehistoric Briton of his era whose genome was analyzedLearn how recent archaeological evidence discredits the idea that Native Americans were decimated solely due to European diseases. As with health disparities today, these outbreaks were more connected to government policies leading to poverty and malnutrition.In this excerpt from Saini’s book, she investigates the scientists behind the white supremacist journal Mankind Quarterly, which has a network of contributors who sit on the editorial boards of more widely trusted scientific publicationsRead Harriet A.

She had unheard of wealth but lived for decades in a Hotel Room with her sisters. And then, he died of a head injury but 10,000 years later his direct descendant got to meet him. The fascinating story of Ida Wood & the strange but true tale of Cheddar Man.

Content Warning - Racism, Far Right Wing Cheddar Man was only meant to be one data point within a wider data-set about prehistoric migrations into Britain. Instead the representation of Cheddar Man with dark skin sent the right wing blog-o-sphere into a media furore claiming conspiracy and bad science. And although its fun to laugh at white supremacists who make such a huge point of having direct lineage have to come to terms with a "black ancestor" - is this really the conversation we need to have? Surely there must be more to talk about when it comes to race, genetics and the representation of the past.    Bibliography: Richardson, L-J. (2014).

RHLSTP #168: Danielle Ward - Sting's Bloody Toilet. Technology delivers a cruel blow to Richard as it deletes his carefully crafted opening monologue about Cheddar Man, but he has a crack at it from memory. Richard is giddy from tiredness caused by nasty bugs from his stupid children and his guest, Danielle Ward, had a complicated and scary birth only 13 weeks ago, so it's no surprise that things go a bit giddy and occasionally over the top. How many revelations about Prince Andrew and Dame Judy Dench will make it to air? Not very many is my guess. This is why you should come along and see the show live if you can: https://leicestersquaretheatre.ticketsolve.com/shows/873492663. Find out what it's like to work as an economic researcher at the South Korean embassy (when you know nothing about the economy or Korea); which member of Lee and Herring Danielle wrote to in 1996; the difficulty of transferring a successful podcast to television; and what the most popular TV show of 1970 was. Find out about two moments from the life of Benedict Cumberbatch; how Rich bonded with Adrian Chiles; and why Danielle loves Debbie McGee.

This week, Spencer and Razib do a deep dive into the early history of the British Isles, focusing specifically on the famous "Cheddar Man." Who were the first Brits, and what did they really look like?

WE ARE CULTURE! NOTHING MOVES WITHOUT US! Welcome back to this ILLUSTRIOUS podcast. This Week! "WAKANDA FOREVER!" The Homies discuss the film "Black Panther" (Spoiler Alert will be all through this). Kelvin brings up the findings of the First Person in Great Britain (It's a black guy by the name of Cheddar Man), Desmond speaking of Reparations for the Black Man! (Power to the People) and story time with Jordan about "Den Of Thieves" (SPOILER ALERT! I'm telling the whole damn movie). This is For Our Culture! Black History Month Episode!

 This week, we get into the science behind the news that Cheddar Man - the oldest Brit - was dark-skinned. What does it mean for the concept of race and ethnicity in the UK? And why are the Daily Mail and Twitter comments about it so funny? And as the NHS is doing a massive push to get more black people to sign up to donate blood and organs, we talk about the intersection of health, science and culture and discuss what's stopping a lot of ethnic minority people from registering.And as a gay man, why is the NHS cock-blocking Oz?   How do I sign up to give blood/organs?

This week in blackness brings us Cardinals envy and the eternal power of the flush. The Black Ryan, Ghetto Phenom and Paul discuss the whitewashing of Nefertiti and England's white tears over the Cheddar Man blackout. The delegates discuss their excitement about the upcoming release of The Black Panther, the blackest superhero movie ever made. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theblackdelegates/support

Sulphur belched out of vessels' smokestacks is a serious health problem for coastal communities around the world. Four hundred thousand premature deaths from lung cancer and cardiovascular disease and around 14 million childhood asthma cases annually are reckoned to be related to shipping emissions. The International Maritime Organisation has finally agreed to drastically reduce polluting emissions from 2020. Gareth Mitchell discusses with James Corbett of the University of Delaware the impact of the emissions reduction on health. The nearly complete skeleton of Cheddar Man was found in a cave in Somerset in 1903. He'e been in the news because experts in human face reconstruction have created an image of what he probably looked like based on new DNA evidence. Chris Stringer, Ian Barnes and Selina Brace of the Natural History Museum have all worked with Cheddar Man and they talk to Gareth about how the study of this 10 000 year old skeleton is part of a bigger project to understand how Britain became populated with waves of peoples from Europe in the Mesolithic and Neolithic eras. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems have invented a magnetically controlled soft robot only four millimetres in size that can walk, crawl or roll through uneven terrain, carry cargo, climb onto the water surface, and even swim in it. Professor Metin Sitti, Director of the Physical Intelligence Department at the Max Planck Institute, explains how it works and how he sees the future use of millirobots in medicine - in delivering drugs and targeting cancerous cells. Marnie Chesterton talks to Dr Lisa Wallis from ELTE University in Hungary about her work to improve the cognitive abilities of older dogs... using touchscreens.

Chris KP, Dr Jenny and Dr Euan join Doctor Shane in the studio. Woodpeckers, Cheddar Man and carnivorous plants round out the news.First guest on the phone is Mel Cosentino, a conservation biologist with a special interest in the impact of human activities on marine mammals from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.Second guest in the studio is Dr Erin McAllum, NHMRC Dementia Research Development Fellow. Her current research is focussed on dementia with Lewy bodies - a common form of dementia but one that is relatively under-researched. It has a large degree of pathological and symptomatic overlap with Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease and there is a growing school of thought that these diseases actually exist as a spectrum, rather than as separate diseases.

Außerdem gibt es Neuigkeiten aus Venezuela und sowohl Duterte, als auch Donald haben sich wieder in die Sendung gemogelt! Katrin hat außerdem das im März erscheinende Buch von Anatol Stefanowitsch gelesen, in dem es um Politische Korrektheit und die Moral in der Sprache geht. Die Wissenschaft untersucht das Gender Pay Gap bei Uber und den sogenannten "Cheddar-Man", der vor 10.000 lebte und als "erster Brite gilt". Achja: Einen Nachschlag zur Thomas-Fischer-Diskussion, die ihr in den Kommentaren noch weiter geführt hattet, gibt's auch (SPOILER: Einig werden wir uns aber nicht). All Hail Lars P. Krause, der uns ein neues Outfit kreiert hat!

Comedian/actor/voiceover artist Valerie Tosi (@valerie_tosi) joins Andy and Matt (and Roo) to discuss Andy’s dogsitting business, whale dissection, Boston accents and pirate accents, Cheddar Man the early Brit, when humans first left Africa, potholing/spelunking, kids performing better when they're Batman, oil patterns on bowling lanes, SpaceX success, and blowing up their near misses, vaping risks and clove cigarettes.

Ify and Turquoise discuss Eric Holder considering a run for President, Robert Porter's domestic violence scandal, a white Nefertiti and black Cheddar Man, Trump's Military Parade, Nancy Pelosi's record length House floor speech, and tribute to Black Lives Matter activist-Muhiyidin d'Baha.

Het jy al gehoor van Cheddar Man? Dis 'n tien-duisend jaar oue fossiel wat in Engeland ontdek is. Tot nou toe het almal aangeneem dat hy 'n wit vel en bruin oë gehad het - totdat die wetenskap die teendeel bewys het. Cheddarman het 'n donker vel gehad, met ligte blou- of groen oë, en is afkomstig van die midde-ooste. Marlinee Fouche berig dat wetenskaplikes die verwikkeling beskou as 'n bewys dat die mensdom 'n gemeenskaplike oorsprong deel.

It's a small, small world. So we celebrate the XRT Spring Training trip win by Jake of Dixon, IL -- Mary's family home. Plus the rest of the day's news, which includes word that DNA evidence shows early Brits were probably people of color. They turned paler later than previously thought. A small world, indeed.

Richard Suchet speaks to the solicitors bringing 'Britain's largest ever equal pay claim' against Tesco. Plus, we speak to one of the archaeologists that discovered "Cheddar man" had dark skin. And, a look at the future of space travel.

Your usual mixed bag this week: Cheddar Man, Nutella fights and Lady Doritos.It's the 100 year anniversary of the Suffragettes! We deliver to you some facts and a round-up of this week's celebrations. We discuss Kylie Jenner's secret pregnancy (her daughter, Stormi Webster was born this week.) How did the world's most famous 20 year old - Kylie has over 100 million followers and is the richest of all of the Kardashian/Jenners - hide her pregnancy from the paps for an entire 10 months? Is it yet another PR ploy; or a genuine bid for privacy from a young woman long uncomfortable with her own, inherited fame?Also today, some discussion of Woody Allen - mainly via some excellent journalism, links below - and the latest Hollywood MeToo, via Uma Thurman. This one's a little different though… it's more about Quentin Tarantino than it is Harvey Weinstein. And, a first: Tarantino replies, at length. Both articles, below, are well worth reading.Plus, a bit on food snobbery, after the wonderful writer and former Bake Off contestant, Ruby Tandoh, spoke out against the “classism and ableism” inherent in slamming ready-made meals. Choice is a luxury; and ‘wellness' is a concept that the working class can ill afford (there's also a bit of personal bias from Pandora, on this subject.)ReadingThe Friendship Cure, by Kate Leaver https://www.amazon.co.uk/Friendship-Cure-Manifesto-Reconnecting-Modern/dp/0715652524Why Woody Allen should be tried in court and not by public opinion, by Hadley Freeman for The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/feb/03/actors-condemn-woody-allen-hadley-FreemanFeminism is excluding working class women, by Camilla Long for The Sunday Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/thats-right-sack-the-poor-grid-girls-only-the-rich-are-entitled-to-flaunt-their-bits-ctw9p6szwThis is why Uma Thurman is angry, by Maureen Dowd for The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/03/opinion/sunday/this-is-why-uma-thurman-is-angry.htmlQuentin Tarantino responds to Uma Thurman http://deadline.com/2018/02/quentin-tarantino-uma-thurman-harvey-weinstein-kill-bill-car-crash-new-york-times-1202278988/Kylie Jenner has baby and seemingly grows way up, by Harling Ross for Man Repeller https://www.manrepeller.com/2018/02/kylie-jenner-baby-girl.htmlListening & WatchingJack Whitehall on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09qb1hwLove Stories, by Dolly Alderton (Pandora's insertion, not Dolly's) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/love-stories/id1343714594?mt=2Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - at cinemas now See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
