24. The Stonehenge Man Looks a Lot Like Jim Carrey

If you ever get the chance to visit the Visitor’s Center in Stonehenge, England, you’ll encounter this waxwork called “The Stonehenge Man“. His skull was taken from 5,500-year-old remains that were found near the famous stone monument. Technically, he would have been born roughly 500 years before the creation of Stonehenge. Evidence on the remains suggest that he would have traveled quite a lot when he was young. This depiction of Stonehenge Man has him looking pale with light eyes, like most English people. Considering that the DNA showed that Cheddar Man has dark skin, we can assume that people’s skin become paler sometime during those 5,000 years of adjusting to the lack of sunlight in England.
