Y'know, I always was kind of skeptical, but I kept an open mind about the notion that the WHG population could probably have been darker than the population of much of the (native) Europeans today, at least. Although it did seem odd that right around the Baltic Sea, where people are literally the whitest in the world, is where the WHG ancestry quotient is highest.
Looks like the whole thing was a fraud anyway: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5453665/Was-Cheddar-man-white-all.html
Paul Nehlen is also apparently on the "far right" and the "alt right". Who knew? Certainly not him. https://www.facebook.com/pnehlen/posts/2050888248514910
But he's 100% correct. "The whole Cheddar Man hoax was about one thing and one thing only, a 'scientific' justification for the morality behind the mass dispossession of whites. It’s the 'see bigot, Albion was always home to blacks, now sit down and be replaced, because science'. I refuse to play along with this game."
La Braña man and a few others suggest that the WHG was darker than the EHG population, or that of most of Europe today, but they certainly weren't going to be black. That's a ridiculous assertion, and rightly called out as a hoax.
UPDATE: Not that it's exactly right, but it's curious, isn't it, how ideas come back around after decades of languishing in obscurity and even contempt? Robert E. Howard's Picts are not really very dissimilar in most respects to the WHG population
