The British Isles Are Being Sculpted Moment by Moment

Underneath the floorboards, down in the basement of this rented space, are the things left behind by the other variations of human kind that came before us. Homo antecessor walked out of africa two million years ago. And they were abroad in the wider world for hundreds of thousands of years. They finally became extinct around 800 thousand years ago. So they lasted for a very, very long time. It's important to confront the reality that we are just passing through. We've only been here for 200, 250 thousand years. The british isles are being sculpted moment by moment, by every wave that breaks,. and the shape is constantly being redrawn.
