To state the obvious, how does one know that these remains are those of one's ancestors? Predecessors living on this fair if damp island, certainly, and by the very nature of things any one prehistoric individual may well be AN ancestor of a very large number of present-day Britons.
In short, the deceased in question may not be an ancestor of yours, Oddity, and is just as likely to be an ancestor of mine. I hereby give full permission for my deceased relative's remains to be examined for study and the enhancement of human knowledge and understanding.
