Blue Eyes & Dark Skin? The Untold Story of Europe’s First Humans | Ancient DNA Mystery

Описание: Thousands of years ago, Europe was home to people who looked completely different from what we imagine today — humans with dark skin, blue eyes, and ancient hunter-gatherer DNA.
Groundbreaking genetic research has uncovered this stunning truth, rewriting everything we know about human evolution, migration, and identity.

This documentary takes you deep into prehistoric Europe — from icy caves and ancient forests to cutting-edge DNA laboratories — revealing how early Europeans evolved and how their genes still live in us today.

Based on real scientific research from La Braña 1 (Spain) and Cheddar Man (Britain), this story proves that diversity has always been part of humanity’s journey.
