Even the studies you cite admit that skin color estimates are really impossible to determine, and are the result of guessing. Wishful guessing, considering the source.

The studies only look for genes we know cause certain skin tones in modern people. What they found is that those genes were not expressed in people from the Paleolithic, even in Northern Europe. It doesn't mean there weren't other genes that might have been involved back then, however.
If you believe humans migrated from Africa 50,000 years ago and hit Europe about 45,000 years ago (as carbon dates suggest), then it is reasonable to believe they were dark skinned since the chances of white folks existing in the brutal sun of Africa are next to zero.
But who knows. We must take into account that humans banged Neanderthals as soon as they entered Europe and it is almost certain Neanderthals were fair skinned (since they had been living in cold conditions for 200,000 years).

That's an 'Afro-science' myth, man. You're better than that. As far as the genetic analyses are concerned, the very scientists who compiled the study cited by the left in the Cheddar Man case said it was 'impossible with certainty to know how this early inhabitant looked' as there were a lot of problems with trying to predict skin color applying the genetic models used in the studies.
Other studies using different models asserted greater accuracy in that context, but came up with opposite conclusions. In fact, they determined that whites migrated north from Anatolia. Of course, as you mentioned, there was significant cross breeding with Neanderthals, but it seems that this began to occur sooner than humans made it to Scandinavia. In fact, they may have gradually come in and slowly replaced their populations after millennia of interbreeding with them.
At no time did any Swedes ever look like straight up sub-Saharan Africans, though.
No, it's just globalist propaganda to get Euros to accept more migration.

I'm half Swedish and I don't recall any cousins, 2nd, 3rd or 4th who are anywhere close to that look. I wonder what the producers choice of recreational drugs were to come up with that?

I'm not referring to that. If we all came from Africa which seems to be the case the 3rd pic would match those characteristics. Not sure how long the migration period was to make it to Sweden so its possible people turned blonde before they reached the region.

What was the Sun like 40,000 years ago in Africa? The Sahara wasn’t a desert until only about 10,000 to 15,000 years ago.

Building a few tents on some land then leaving doesn't earn you the name of the nation later build on that geographical location.
The "original Swedes" built the nation known today as Sweden.

Yep.
Mexicans and Indian activists don't want the return of thousands of acres of raw, undeveloped land, they want the return of the cities built by those evil Colonists.

Wonder what skin tone they go with for the Viking raping pillaging and plundering

That's what I would think as well. It would be like making a show called the original Americans and showing a bunch of native Americans that our founding fathers fought.
But maybe that's what Sweden is going for, to show how the humans survived there right after the ice age
