When did the first humans arrive in Britain? Where did they come
from? And what did they look like? This is the amazing story of
human life in Britain. It begins nearly one million years ago,
during the earliest known human occupation, and reveals how humans
have periodically lived there ever since. Britain: One Million
Years of the Human Story takes readers on an incredible journey
through ancient Britain. Drawing on a wealth of evidence from
archaeological sites, it reveals which human species lived in
Britain during multiple waves of occupation. It describes who they
were, what their habitats were like, which animals shared their
landscape, and what they did to survive, from the first use of fire
to specialised hunting. It shows how Britain's human occupants
changed, adapting and often succumbing to dramatically changing
climate and landscapes. The story is told by Rob Dinnis and Chris
Stringer, two scientists at the forefront of research into our
ancient ancestors. Together they describe the discoveries, the key
fossil specimens and the science behind these remarkable
findings.Written in a lively and engaging style, and fully
illustrated with maps, diagrams and photographs, Britain: One
Million Years of the Human Story is an invaluable guide to our
early human relatives. The book is based on the ground-breaking
work of the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain project and is
published to tie in with a major new exhibition opening at the
Natural History Museum in February 2014.
