ARCHAEOLOGISTS in the UK have made the stunning discovery that some of the earliest Britons suffered from tapeworms.
Scientists from Cambridge University have hailed the discovery of fish tapeworms, which were found preserved in human faeces from a 3,000 year old village at Must Farm in Cambridgeshire.
Dubbed "Britain's Pompeii," the archaeological site was surrounded by waterlogged "coprolites" - pieces of poo - during a 2016 dig, with the organic matter found to contain microscopic tapeworm eggs.
The researchers said the findings gave the first ever understanding of the diseases of prehistoric Fen people, according to a study published in the Parasitology journal.
