The stone age is coming back to Washington, D.C., so this is a timely find.

At some point, as glaciers receded northward, the land along this coast began to sink, and over the centuries the sea moved in, submerging the hunting camps.

It must have been due to their reliance on fossil fuels and all the resultant pollution. Too bad they didn't have AlGore to tell them the error of their ways.

We have 24,000 square miles of the same thing off the US east coast.

The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis: The hypothesis that water has acted as an agent of selection in the evolution of humans more than it has in the evolution of our ape cousins. And that, as a result, many of the major physical differences between humans and the other apes may be explained, to a large extent, as adaptations to moving (wading, swimming and/or diving) better through various aquatic media and from greater feeding on resources that might be procured from such habitats.

Looks like they had global warming in the old days.

It is trying to learn exactly how and when this landscape changed and already has determined that the water rose very rapidly, drowning the low settlements, then gradually but inexorably covering the higher ground.

Sounds like global warming to me. Started probably with the campfires.

Stone Age Site Found Under North Sea (8,000 BC)

Graham Hancock writes a book about it and he's called a nut.

Go figure.

Interesting article. It makes one wonder if these people were the progenitors of the Balts or the Celts or the Germans, or whether these people did not adapt to changing circumstances and died out.

A growing body of evidence gathered by these and other undersea researchers reveals that about 7000 years ago--more than 2000 years before Stonehenge--people built fish fences, dug food-storage pits, and established sizable Stone Age communities along the shores of what appears to have been a rapidly rising Baltic.

Sign of global warming 7,000 years ago?
