Abstract

The article discusses the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain (AHOB) project, which aims to uncover the early prehistory of Britain. Through excavations and the reanalysis of old finds, scientists have gained insight into the lives of ancient Britons. The research has revealed that Britain was occupied by various human species, including Homo antecessor, Homo heidelbergensis, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens. The article also explores the changing climate and environment of Britain, which influenced the migration and extinction of these early human populations. Additionally, it discusses the formation of the English Channel and the landmass known as Doggerland, which allowed for the migration of humans from mainland Europe to Britain.
