  • After the ice melted, what happened? How did we get to the green and pleasant hills that we recognise today in the British isles? From new animals (some familiar, others quite foreign to us today!) to dense forests, the British Isles was virgin land for ancient humans to inhabit. Join Alex on this journey

    Hello all,
    I have been made aware that I've mistakenly put my outro at the start of the video! Please persist through it and enjoy the content and I will re-upload the video in the future. Currently it's a very busy time of tours for me, but I will do it! Thank you for your patience and support in watching!

      @@AlexIlesUK it’s actually the full thing “Nacho Man Andy Cabbage”, bit of a mouthful but what can ya do?
      I’ve read this book recently, called Wisdom of the Ancients; it’s wrote by Neil Oliver; that Scottish man with the long black hair.
      It’s a lovely, easy-reading book. It piqued my interest in Mesolithic Britain, which in turn lead to me finding this channel.
      Keep doing what you’re doing 👌

      When it does to writing your name I'll remember that. I do enjoy Neil Oliver's writing - he's a good archeologists for getting into the topic! I'm glad you like my content and I hope to make some more on the future on Prehistoric topics!

    Highly informative Alex. What form of hilltop villages did these mesolithic hunter gatherers develop. Fortified? Was conflict between these groups common? Or did low population densities initially preclude such conflicts? Thank you.

      Hello David, we haven't found a 'Village' as such just small settlements that seem to be semi permanent rather than permanent. They don't have defences and we haven't found evidence of conflict and it's likely as you say that low population density did stop that from being a issue. I've got a episode on a stone age house coming up in a future episode so stay tuned for that!

      @@AlexIlesUK Perhaps the lack of warfare in the days of Doggerland is due to the fact that everyone was closely related with relatively recent common ancestors. All shared the same, limited male I2a & female U5 haplogroups until the Neolithic incursions.

      @@xooberant I'm not so certain. There are some paleolithic finds that may suggest violence so sadly as much as people try to frame these societies as perfect utopian existences. I'm certain that Anger and greed and jealousy still affected people.

      Hi Matt, I didn't actually know so I've made a mistake while editing! Ironically it's my 3rd best video for watching now! I'll edit and re-upload it in the future!!
