I remember seeing a Tv documentary about how they were able to find the
person whose DNA matched the "Cheddar Cave"Man, they said they tested a
classroom of children and needed another one to make up the required
numbers, so the teacher volunteered and he was the match they needed.

I think these documetaries give a lot of information, and also found that
series "Meet the Ancestors"very good, shame they haven't matched and present
DNA to the lot they took from the tests to see how old the bones they often
found were, that would ber eally interesting.
