this information is not really new: skin color of early europeans was different than that of today's native population. racists won't like to hear it, but all the genetic research that has been done on human remains or chewing gums like here (just imagine you throw away your chewing birch tar and 6000 years late people can still find out how you looked and what you had for dinner and breakfast!) points to the fact, that people here were of a darker skin tone than today. how this evolved towards the actual pale skin color still seems to be a part of a debate: replacement or evolution. i think i had heard about this already in the 2000s, but i'm not certain.
this again is a very strong argument against the xenophobics' and racists' ideas about how peoples develop. not purity is the strong factor but mixture.
die mischung macht's! here are other findings related to the population history of europe:

europa DNA-researcher: It’s not 'woke' to portray prehistoric Europeans with dark skin. It’s evolution.
Ancient DNA analyses suggest that prehistoric Europeans looked different from modern Europeans today, but some people find that hard to accept.
