Maps of a now-submerged land help reconstruct the lives of ancient Europeans

A region beneath the rough waters of the North Sea, known as Doggerland, holds archaeological clues to the past. Watch how researchers are using advances in mapping and leads from dredging sites to piece together the history of this vanished landscape.

I wish I'd had the sense to pursue my interests in anthropology and archaeology.

[@adkinsyum]

Doggerland--- a glimpse of things to come.

[@patriciaaturner289]

I follow this info with great interest since my first DNA test about 15 years ago showed deep time ancestry from Doggerland.

[@michaelfitzgerald434]

Fascinating!

[@traegermethod3802]

I will henceforth identify as a "Future Doggerlandian".

Found on a beach from North Brittany , a black Silex ... rolled by thé Sea , but marks of " taille" by Humans are very obvious .. looks liké a " racloir " , with such a good préhension in thé hand...🖤🌊

[@--Paws--]

I wish they could remake/terraform Doggerland.
It may disturb the current ecosystem, yet it may unveil the original ecosystem there and reveal much more.

[@willemvandebeek]

not very likely with current rising sea levels due to the climate crisis

[@MACTEP_CHOB]

@@willemvandebeek Crisis ? Hello, that sea level starded rising 10000 years ago if not earlier.

[@MrLBoavida]

Is it wrong to think that, like all organisms, and all the knowledge we have about natural evolution, we (humans) would evolve and adapt to climate change? Or is it climate change happening too fast for us to adapt?

[@MACTEP_CHOB]

Always throught there is too much water on this planet.

[@alexstewart8097]

So you would like less water or a waterless world? Just remember there is no life without water. And whether you like it or not , a great % of your own body is....wait for it... water...Finally, you didnt have anything to do with that Kevin Costner movie, did you?

[@MACTEP_CHOB]

@@alexstewart8097 I would like more land. Go drink that seawater. See how you feel.

Willie Van Stinkerdink????

[@Fin4L6are]

only 70 metres?

[@fredriks5090]

The north sea in particular(+baltics) has had more sealevel change than any other area during the holocene because of isostatic movements after the icecaps disappeared.

[@TheSantiagoMatamoros]

Listening to that woman, I recommend Nasic.

[@importantname]

yes quite interesting - but where is the fuel source that humanity will require in the now and future?

[@davidquezada50]

Why they using doggerland that guy who named it was a joke

[@johnb2649]

David Quezada a look at Wikipedia provides the etymology : “Doggerland was named in the 1990s, after the Dogger Bank, which in turn was named after the 17th century Dutch fishing boats called doggers.”

[@antoniescargo4158]

Dutch names with "van", not "Van"

[@antoniescargo4158]

A Dutch person from 13.000 years ago??? 😂😂😂😂😂🇱🇺😭😭😭😅😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
