THE FIRST PEOPLE IN BRITAIN

THE FIRST PEOPLE IN BRITAIN. By Dania Ahmed.

The first people in Britain lived at Happisburgh nearly a million years ago. They may not have been the first people who lived in Britain but they’re the first ones we have found evidence of..

We have found stone tools, animals bone and plant remains. We think that the people alive then used mostly stone tools . They didn’t use any metal. This period of time called the stone age . In the period people hunt animals like deer horses and cows for eating..

We don’t know exactly what the happisburgh people were like because we haven’t found any of their bones yet. But we know that they were not the same as us. Humans that look like we do now first lived about 200,000 years ago in Africa ..

The oldest near complete human skeleton ever found in Britain is to man who died 10000 years ago. He had black skin, dark curly hair and blue eyes according to DNA test. The scientists suggest the first people of the British isles developed white skin later on..

Scientists found evidence that the climate of the world changed. The weather got colder , the ice came down from the north the land was covered in glacier this may have driven people south where it was warmer ..
