The face of a 10,000-year-old British skeleton nicknamed “Cheddar Man” has been revealed after research carried out by a team of scientists at London’s Natural History Museum.

The team, which specialises in evolution and DNA, worked with model-makers and professors at University College London to build a picture of what the man behind the skeleton would actually have looked like. It was found in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset back in 1903, hence the name.

Here’s the skull of Cheddar Man:
