The Oldest Human Fossils Ever Found In Britain | Bbc Timestamp

Neil Oliver tells the epic story of how Britain and its people came to be over thousands of years of ancient history - the beginnings of our world forged in ice, stone, and bronze.

The ice age saw a struggle for survival in a brutal world of climate change and environmental catastrophe. At the Natural History Museum, London, Neil is delighted to encounter the remains of 'Boxgrove Man' - an individual who roamed the Earth over half a million years ago.

This clip is from The World of Stonehenge (2011).
