Tonight I was discussing over a pint with some friends how humans came to be in the UK after the last ice age. My argument was that humans followed deer for food and then became trapped on the island once the ice thawed; I remember finding evidence for this but cannot remember what it exactly was. My friend argued against me as i had no evidence for it; has anyone got any evidence of how man ended up within the UK after the last ice age about 10,000 years ago?
He agreed with someone who argued that an edible algae could of grown on ice which grows on ice today, although people around the table did agree with me when i said this couldn't of been the sole food for people within the UK (he saw this on a TV documentary, this was backed up by another friend who also saw this on the same documentary). Does anyone know of any other reason for our early existence within the UK?
