The only thing to read this weekend. Beautiful, tender, raging, unbearable.

⁦@paullaity⁩, I am so deeply sorry my profession failed Martha so terribly & put pride & complacency above good patient care. https://t.co/qo2gjvXsoL

A 9,000-year-old skeleton was discovered inside a cave in Cheddar, England, and was affectionately dubbed "Cheddar Man." DNA testing confirmed that a living relative lived approximately half a mile away, tracing their lineage back nearly 300 generations.

In 1903, while conducting excavations in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, UK, researchers stumbled upon a remarkable find: the skeletal remains of a Homo sapien who had lived around 9,000 years ago. This individual ranks among the oldest modern humans ever found in Britain. The discovery occurred serendipitously during a drainage renovation within the tourist attraction of Gough's Cave.

Cheddar Man thrived during the Mesolithic period roughly 9,000 years ago. Most likely, he was a hunter-gatherer who passed away in his twenties and stood at a height of approximately 5 feet, 5 inches.

The use of cutting-edge technology has enabled researchers to reconstruct Cheddar Man's facial features, determine his skin and eye coloring, and even discern the texture of his hair. Genetic material extracted from one of Cheddar Man's molar teeth allowed scientists to identify Adrian Targett, a retired history teacher, as a relative.

Upon analysis, it was revealed that Targett's family lineage had endured in the Cheddar Gorge region for approximately nine millennia, with genes passed from mother to daughter through mitochondrial DNA, inherited from the egg.

In simple terms, Adrian Targett and Cheddar Man share a common maternal ancestor.

@normanlamb We also need to look at complaints. Often patients/their families are the first ones who notice a problem, but are all too often kept at arms length by a labyrinthine system that takes too much energy to negotiate and seems designed to stop complaints being taken forward.

After Edinburgh University (as reported on @BBCRadio4) signals the long-term benefits to #mentalhealth of learning a musical instrument in childhood, let's hope the government is listening. Every child should have the chance to learn to play #music.
