'Nature' has reported on the dig in Happisburgh, Norfolk, which has yielded artifacts pointing to a much earlier settlement of Britain than previously thought. There's a nice video here:

Replying to head-first

Interesting how they have the artefacts and no remains, yet can state with confidence that this was a branch of humans previously unknown(in Britain???)that didn't evolve/survive/interbreed and were the last of their line.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how diverse stone tools in the UK were??
