Obviously a victim of Dubya's war on the environment.

Evidence of Global Warming before there was 'global consciousness'?
There must have been a pre-historic Algore.

Good observation: Why was London warmer then?
These guys didn't even have fire.

"Stone Age humans in Britain hunted and ate the ancient animals, scientists say.
The male straight-tusked elephanta member of the extinct species Palaeoloxodon antiquusweighed about 9 tons (9.1 metric tons), twice as large as elephants living today."
With the size of the cajones these guys had, we now know why the wheel barrow had to be invented.

"We don't think [H. heidelbergensis] had clothing, and they didn't use fire, so they would have eaten the elephant raw," Wenban-Smith said.The site also yielded teeth from mice and pollen traces from tree species that are still present in Britain, suggesting that the climate back then was similar to today's.
Where do these guys come to their conclusions? No clothes in Britain's current climate is not conducive to survival.

Interesting!! Homo erectus used fire some 700,000 years ago. besides cooking, they hardened the tips of their wooden spears. Homo heidelbergensis didn't use fire yet they were remarkable hunters. With the good climatic conditions 400,000 years back, why didn't HE push HH to the side based on superior technology and likely more intelligence. HE certainly "conquered" the world except Europe.

Hot feet back in prehistoric London allowed elephants to live north of the Engish channel, eh?

The team also discovered a big pile of flints about 65 feet (20 meters) from the animal, on the shore of the ancient lake, which may represent a more permanent tool-making site. Homo Depot

Where do these guys come to their conclusions? No clothes in Britain's current climate is not conducive to survival.That's why Homo heidlebergensis died out, at least one of the reasons, or evolved into neanderthals. If I understand the terms heidlebergensis and sapien correctly.
From article:The team says the humans who ate the elephant belonged to Homo heidelbergensis. The ancient humans had brains about three-quarters the size of our own and walked fully upright. H. heidelbergensis is thought to have been the ancestor of the Neandertals, which became extinct about 30,000 years ago, after modern humans colonized Europe.

[[Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble riding around in their SUVs.]]
Mr. Slate's gravel company ruined the environment by strip mining and pumping pollution into the air and water. It goes without saying that they were big Republican donors.
