The fresh analysis at Oxford University dated the bone and three teeth to a period between 44,200 and 41,500 years ago, when a temporary warm spell lasting perhaps only a thousand years, made Britain habitable.

First, the obligatory comment regarding Climate Change: anyone who wants to reverse "Global Warming" is an uneducated idiot, ot a diehard, elitist Communist/Socialist, who believes they will be among, and at the top of, the U.N.'s "ideal world population" of 500,000,000.

Looking at those teeth, after 40,000 years, I want that guy's dentist's number. Unbelievable a Brit had such good teeth, so that proves it had to be a tourist.

Very interesting. Before this, the oldest human remains in Britain dated back about 30,000 years or so (the Red Lady of Paviland), so this is a major find.

The remains found in Torquay are actually less than 1,500 years old. Science has become a fallacy!
