Interesting story. I admit I had not previously heard of the Red Lady, or Gentleman, as he should probably now be called.

There’s nothing wrong with speculation or myth-making, I suppose, but this is a good, cautionary read on the dangers of making “definitive” archaeological claims.

Britain as a nice place to visit and hunt during the interglacial periods. That’s an interesting idea, too.

Hunting accident? The red was an early version of blaze orange.

34KBP would have been near a glacial maximum. The sea level would have been 200 - 300 ft. lower at that time than in the photo.
