Show transcript
Dating different human remains suggests the presence of modern humans in Britain has been brief and sporadic. It has only become continuous at the end of the last Ice Age, c.12,000 years ago. The modern humans who appeared in Britain were highly adaptable hunter-gatherers. Flints found far from where they were acquired show that they moved around Britain far more than the Neanderthals had.
