In this video, we unpack Robert John Langdon’s latest blog on Cro-Magnons and DNA — and why “percent DNA” headlines are rewriting prehistory the wrong way.
In this video, we unpack Robert John Langdon’s latest blog on Cro-Magnons and DNA — and why “percent DNA” headlines are rewriting prehistory the wrong way.
We show how bones and tools (long skulls, tall/robust frames, heavy close-balanced axes) beat modelled genetics (WHG labels, imputed pigmentation) when you’re asking who could actually build megaliths. Three case studies ground it:
The Neolithic Power Axe vs the Antler-Pick Myth (strength & productivity, not ritual).
Skull Data Suppression (how CI measurements were buried by modern labels).
The Dating Mirage (C-14 & DNA “clocks” are models—without skeletons in secure contexts they’re guesses).
We also tackle the Cheddar Man meme: measured long skull vs modelled skin colour, and why WHG is a cluster label, not a body plan.
The birth of modern Man
