I wouldnt laugh at your own ignorance
I’m not confusing black with melanated because they’re synonymous terms.
All indigenous people are descendants from Africa. We didn’t just spawn randomly on this planet guy
1. Cheddar man is not a white man (obviously)
nor is that what white people looked like
2. Phenotypically white people existed at the same time as cheddar man and modern whites are not descendants of cheddar man.
3. Cheddar man and the people that looked like him were replaced by indo-Europeans from which modern whites descended.
4. As a bonus, that is not what cheddar man looked like. All geneticists know is he had blue eyes and black skin. The facial features and hair were completely made up by Eurocentric artists. He most likely looked like modern Africans, just with blue eyes.
Cheddar man is an indigenous European who had dark skin because his lineage originated in Africa.
The original point is that melanated people have always been in europe and their presence didn’t start with slavery. For example, Brazilian singer Neguinho da Beija-Flor is 67% European genetically which was shocking to him as he doesn’t even have a white grandparent. His ancestors were simply black Europeans. I know that’s a hard concept for y'all to grasp but as someone who is about to graduate with a doctorate level degree in a related field, anthropology and genetics are 2 of the most racist “scientific” fields there are. I’m just trying to clarify a lot of misinformation.
TLDR: European DNA does not mean your ancestors are white. You can have just as many black European ancestors as white.
