This is for the newbies reading this. Not for the dogmatic rabble rousers who are posting on stuff they don’t fully understand. Excerpts from the ACTUAL Research paper NOT from Wiki or Youtube or a blogger. Lol! Again, don’t get caught up in the media hype ‘brown” skin. It is all “spin”. lol. La Brana has the genetic pigmentation configuration as Melanesians and Neanderthal who was also black skinned. Read the research on Neanderthal!!! You people are coming out the wood works but what is irritating is you have no clue.
Derived immune and ancestral pigmentation alleles in a 7,000-year-old Mesolithic European - In˜igo Olalde1*, Carles Lalueza-Fox1
Quote from the study
----
Of the ten variants, the
Mesolithic genome (La Brana) carried the ancestral and non-selected allele as a homozygote in three regions:C12orf29 (a gene with
unknown function), SLC45A2 (rs16891982) and SLC24A5 (rs1426654) (Table 1). The latter two variants are the
two strongest known loci
affecting light skin pigmentation in Europeans20–22 and their ancestral alleles and associated haplotypes are either absent or segregate at very
low frequencies in extant Europeans (3% and 0% for SLC45A2 and SLC24A5, respectively) (Fig. 2). We subsequently
examined all genes
known to be associated with pigmentation in Europeans22, and found ancestral alleles in MC1R, TYR and KITLG, and derived alleles in
TYRP1, ASIP and IRF4 (Supplementary Information). Although the precise phenotypic effects cannot currently be ascertained in a European
genetic background, results from functional experiments20 indicate that the allelic combination in this Mesolithic individual is likely to have
resulted in dark skin pigmentation and dark or brown hair. Further examination revealed that this individual carried the HERC2 rs12913832*C
single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and the associated homozygous haplotype spanning the HERC2–OCA2 locus that is strongly associated
with blue eye colour23. Moreover,
a prediction of eye colour based on genotypes at additional loci using HIrisPlex24 produced a 0.823 maximal
and 0.672 minimal probability for being non-brown-eyed (Supplementary Information). The genotypic combination leading to a predicted
phenotype of
dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique and
no longer present in contemporary European populations. Our results indicate
that the adaptive spread of light skin pigmentation alleles was not complete in some European populations by the Mesolithic, and that
the spread of alleles associated with light/blue eye colour may have preceded changes in skin pigmentation.

La Brana was black like Melanesians and had no-brown eyes. They are not sure of the color but they are sure it was not brown. So saying he had blue eyes is also a lie. Don’t you get that?
Yes you think you so much smarter than all genuine scientists!
HE WAS A CAUCASIAN with STRAIGHT CAUCASIAN HAIR and BRIGHT BLUE EYES! HIS MTDNA was the VERY WEST ASIAN MTDNA U amd his Y-DNA was C6 NOT FOUND IN ASIA!
www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982212006501 NEANDERTHALS HAD WHITE SKIN, BLUE<GREEN EYES and Blonde, Red Hair! They had the EXACT SAME COLOURING AS MODERN EUROPEANS!
? Do they look like brothers?
