Given the state of the UK economy, one could make an argument that Neanderthal man is still there. But we all know that Neanderthal man has taken over the democratic party and controls the WH.

Early pre-Neanderthals inhabited Britain before the last ice age, but were forced south by the severe cold about 200,000 years ago. When the climate warmed up again between 130,000 and 110,000 years ago... the Channel sea-level was raised
