I didn’t know they had found them in England before.

I read somewhere that there have been seven occasions when humans or ancestors colonized Britain. Six times beaten back. On the seventh attempt now.

They'd better hope there's something to this globull warming.

Britain has been invaded as much if not more than any place worth living in on the face of the E, but the level of denial about that, usually referencing the natural alleged barrier of the surrounding seas, has been very great. The last successful invasion (not counting the Muzzie one, that hasn’t come to full fruit yet) was William and Mary’s “Glorious Revolution” which led to the overthrow of her brother James II, but the Irish “Book of Invasions” details various periods of recolonization after periods of wasteland, probably not entirely historical in character, and/or drawing on a prehistoric oral tradition dressed up with new names for the cast of characters and the groups to which they belonged.

(IMHO)

That’s pretty great as well.

Gosh, I wonder how these tracks managed to not blow away in, or get covered by, the winds, before they were fossilized. ;’)

Lots of people overlook that aspect of the Glorious Revolution. Sure, Parliament offered William the crown, but it was his Dutch army that secured it.

When I was a kid they made a documentary on early humans.

Ah yes, now I remember those after school specials. Food you ever see the psychological study they showed about seven people being stranded on a small island together?
