Synopsis

This is a revised and redesigned edition of a book that covers around half a million years of human existence, taking into account the continuing discoveries and debates that characterize this long and fascinating period from the exodus from Africa to the appearance of art in the last Ice Age.

Drawing on research in many disciplines, Ice Age Britain looks at the changing environments and climatic changes occurring as people first arrived in Britain; our human ancestors and the Neanderthals; the relationship between human biology and cultural behaviour; and the development of language and art.
