    A Very Helpful Book for the General Reader Interested in Human Origins.
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 June 2014*

This is a very readable and readily accessible work for the general reader with an interest in human origins. There are lots of helpful illustrations and three explanatory maps.  In depth students may find it on the superficial side.  In addition to a preface, timeline diagram and index there are five chapters: 1: The Earliest Pioneers. 2: The Handaxe Makers (and Friends)  3: Neanderthal Britain to Deserted Britain. 4: Neanderthals and Modern Humans on the Edge of the World.  5: At the End of the Ice Age.  The book also includes a 'further information' section.The existence of humanoid species in Britain can now be traced back almost a million years thanks largely to comparatively recent discoveries at Happisburgh (pronounced Haysborough) in Norfolk and Pakefield in Suffolk. This work provides illustrations of these finds and places them within the most likely evolutionary development sequence leading up to modern humans. It traces the evolution of their tool making skills, hunting skills, eating habits, shelter building and other skills including the development of first speech and use of fire and all is made very clear about what is known about them all and also what we don't yet know.  The reader will find that, thanks to recent discoveries, we know much more about these humanoids today than we did as little as twenty years ago.The period in question was interspersed by several ice ages during which the human ancestors came and went with the retreat and advance of the ice. We are also given information about the flora and fauna prevalent during the different periods. There were advances and retreats of  forests and  grasslands and the fauna included a species of now extinct elephant. With the passing of time the evolving humanoids got better and better at making tools and hunting weapons and  grew very fond of eating bone marrow and innards. In Gough's Cave in the Cheddar Gorge in Somerset some almost modern style humans practised cannibalism and remains of cave paintings have been discovered in caves at Creswell Crags in Derbyshire.An inter-glacial period over 400,000 years ago is named after Hoxne (pronounced 'Hoxen') in Suffolk where interesting information has been discovered. In those far off days Britain was joined to the rest of Europe with the southern North Sea, the Straits of Dover and some of the English Channel  then being dry land.  Sea levels fluctuated with the coming and going of the ice. One thing we may never know is whether or not the Norfolk and Suffolk folk of those days avoided going to Somerset through fear of  ending up as Sunday lunch.  However, we would be wrong to think that the Cheddar Gorge is so called because it was there that our early ancestors gorged themselves on each other.I  think lots of people will like this book and be fascinated by all that it reveals about the life and times of  our evolutionary ancestors. It's well put together for the general reader and I like it.

    Concise and highly informative
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 11 January 2017*

I needed a reference book on early human occupation of Britain and I chose this book chiefly because of its NHM accreditation. I was not disappointed.  It is a model of clarity and takes the reader concisely through all the key British archaeological finds and sets them in the context of ancient climate cycles affecting northern Europe and, where applicable, parallel evolutionary development in Europe and beyond. I learned a lot from this book after the first read and I am still reviewing the content.It is interesting that the authors gave pretty equal weight to all the time periods covered - I was expecting the last 10,000 years to receive undue emphasis on account of our more detailed knowledge of the Meso- and Neolithic, but I think it was right to avoid the temptation to write a text book about 'recent prehistory'.
