We've always said that people from Norfolk were a little....

The origins of humanity are fascinating. IIRC fire sharpened spears have been found in the East UK dated at aroud 700,000 BC.
Neanderthal DNA is present in all humans except those of an African origin.
There seem to have been far earlier migrations than are commonly thought, and more humand species, some more advanced, some less than us.
It seems so improbable that we suddenly decided to start building cities 9,000 years ago, and it hadn't occured to people to do so for the previous 1 million years.
I wonder how much of what we've built presently would be here still in 50,000.....200,000....800,000 years were some calamity to overtake our civilisation. It would only take a moderately sized meteor strike to do the trick, and it seems these strikes are far more commom than previously thought.

Happisburgh is pronounced?
They were not ancestors of people living today, but represented a "dead end" branch of the human evolutionary tree.
No webbed hands and sank while swimming in the Broads I suspect

Thats all well and good - but I was hoping for a joke about Norfolk and its inhabitants.Neanderthal DNA is present in all humans except those of an African origin.
