This popular science book unveils Doggerland, a significant yet little-known archaeological site in Europe. Situated beneath the North Sea, this vast prehistoric landscape preserves evidence of human habitation spanning nearly a million years. It was dry for most of this extensive period, serving as the first northern European territory for early hominids over 900,000 years ago.
The region endured ice ages, supporting megafauna like woolly mammoths and rhinoceroses, hunted by Neanderthals. Later, modern humans left their mark, including the Leman-and-Ower-Banks spearhead. As sea levels rose and climate changed, Mesolithic hunter-gatherers adapted to this dynamic world until its final submergence.
