In Spain there was a persistence of the previous hunter gatherers, and mixing with the Cheddar Man WHG type hunter gatherers. The blue eyes seem to be a characteristic of WHG.
Ancient women, hunter gatherers and neolithic farmer, had thicker skulls and other bones compared with modern humans. I don't consider that brown skin tone particularly dark, nothing like the way Cheddar Man was reconstructed. It would have been common for hunters to take the calves of killed female Auroch and raise them, it isn't purposeful domestication.

Are you saying that the reconstruction of the woman has a skin tone that matches modern Galician population or that she is not dark skinned as in black? What do you mean?

he means she is not dark contrary to her description on the link
