 * Symbol question.svg I remember reading about this in the news a few years ago, thanks for creating the article! It is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hook is interesting and verified with reliable sources. Image is freely licensed. Awaiting QPQ. -Zanhe (talk) 01:06, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Gatoclass, I'm not sure where you want this hook to go. "...that DNA suggests that Loschbour man, whose 8,000-year old human skeleton found in Waldbillig, Luxembourg, in 1935, had dark skin?" is fine with me. Dr Aaij (talk) 18:06, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Reformating that as ALT1 and ticking. SpinningSpark 01:08, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that DNA testing suggests that Loschbour man (pictured), whose 8,000-year-old human skeleton was found in 1935 in Waldbillig, Luxembourg, had dark skin?
 * Note: I just added "(pictured)" to ALT1 along with the word "was" and a hyphen between "year" and "old", moved "in 1935" earlier to improve the flow, and removed the unnecessary wikilinks for "dark skin" and "Waldbillig". BlueMoonset (talk) 14:52, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
