Talk about deep family roots
This is so neat. Turns out this fellow found his roots. Amazingly it was from his Mom's side. How would you like to find out your Mother's roots go back 9000 years and you only live a half mile away from where your relatives were 300 generations before?
I'd say if anyone is entitled to indigenous rights this man qualifies.

That's the highest level of inbreeding. I wonder what the descendants teeth looked like?

I watched a show about that .
What the article link does NOT mention, is that the man whose DNA matches, was a primary school teacher in Cheddar , and he had his students donate DNA samples for an experiment to learn about DNA , ancestry, etc. as part of their studies.
he also donated a sample, and that is when it was found that his DNA matched the Cheddar man's DNA!

Why do mothers always love their children more than dads. They always know they are their children" Some time risky to do DNA!

Not tryin to get off-topic, but if those "Ancestry" sites offer "2 weeks free" then why do they need my VISA/Credit Card number, in order to continue, when I first click on them............?
Its either "free" or it isn't. So which is it?

Just remember, once you put your DNA out there, you can't get it back. About as much invasion of your privacy, as possible. Thanks to Hitler, I know my ancestry back to 1789.

I have been frustrated by this too.
This site is free. No credit card numbers needed.

It's free for the two weeks, but your card is charged as soon as the two week period is over. Your card won't be charged, so long as you cancel before the two week mark.
