      1. Wells is an interesting person.

        Personally I never really got into his stuff. Conan-Doyle? Cool. Edgar Rice Burroughs? Good fun. But Wells? Shrug.

        What I find more interesting is when you start looking at Wells the person and how he interacted with his peers.

        Seems he didn’t get on well with many of them.

    1. Yes that made me wince. Further …human skull fragments with cut marks possibly caused by defleshing, believed to have been part of the burial ritual, … They mean dinner or feasting in celebration.

  1. Except for the climate change science fiction nonsense that’s an interesting article.

    Indigenous Europeans were a resourceful bunch, 10,000 years of moving the ball forward and it’s all coming to a grinding halt. When do the new “Europeans” start paying the indigenous?

  2. It’s the Grauniad, so, read with caution.

    Tsunami?

    Undersea massive landslide or fault “letting go”?

    Or, something like the Ice-wall breaking in North America that caused the several spectacular floods in what is now the North West of the USA?

    Lose the eco-nazis and find some hard-core rock doctors.

    Without that detail, it’s just another Grauniad rant.

  3. Dogger is a very familiar name for anyone that grew up in the UK and listened to the BBC long-wave broadcasts.
    The shipping forecast transmitted regularly for all shipping around the British Isles, has a lot of interesting sounding names for different areas. I never really knew where most of them were, but the names stuck with me to this day.

    They still do those forecasts. In the old days of course, it was always a male voice, but even with a female voice, it sounds very familiar.

    1. I used to listen to the shipping forecast as I lay abed at night, a nice way to go asleep, safe on dry land.

  4. a recent survey of the drowned landscape by the universities of Bradford and Ghent offering further clues to the cause of its destruction, it is the work of “citizen scientists” that has produced some of the most exciting artefacts

    What the actual…? Are universities fancying themselves commissioned military now?

  5. “ The story of Doggerland shows how destructive climate change can be. The climate change we see today is manmade but the effects could be just as devastating as the changes seen all those years ago.”

    The myopia is strong in this one.
