The face of Stonehenge Man. A forensic reconstruction of a Neolithic man born about 5,500 years ago and buried in a long barrow near Stonehenge. He lived in the area before the stone circle was built. The long barrow was excavated in the 1860s.

Why would anyone expect anything different? It really wasn't THAT long ago. Evolution takes much longer than that to make its changes. Stonehenge man looked just like most of us of European heritage.
No surprise there.
