three places, known as ‘Ice Age Refuges’. One would be the Cantabrian coast of Spain, and further down, the second would be around the Balkans and I think the third was south of the Alps, somebody correct me if I am wrong. DNA studies however show that many remained in the ice-free zones of the Russian/Siberian tundra and hunted Mammoths.
Britain during the ice Ages was covered in ice down to about Kent. When it drew back the people followed the herds out of the refuges and voila, flints and charcoal in the British Isles.
Thank you! I have read that part of Spain remained more livable but I never thought about Britons going there to get away from the ice.
