I'm not sure the people who might've crossed over to Britain almost a million years ago were literally the same people who migrated over the Bering Strait land bridge (physically, that is). Were they even anatomically modern humans, with the same ability to make tools and think creatively?
- Turing_Machine 4y agoOh, they were definitely different people. I was thinking more in terms of the Neanderthals he was talking about later in the article, rather than the million-year-old ones. I feel confident that Neanderthals could make boats (certainly rafts) if they were of a mind to do so.
- macintux 4y agoI think the article is less “could someone physically make it to Britain” and more “could there be enough of a presence to sustain itself and leave an archaeological record”.
