The fossil of a human male was discovered in Golf Cave, Cheddar Gorge, England. These remains date back 10,000 years and are kept by London’s Natural History Museum in the Human Evolution Gallery.

 

Contrary to his name, Cheddar Man (given due to where he was discovered), he was unable to digest milk - the advent of dairy farming being after his death. His excavation in 1903 makes him Britain’s oldest completed human skeleton.
