Who Really Were Britain’s Earliest People?

This episode follows the earliest peoples on the island that would become Great Britain, from hunter‑gatherer bands after the last Ice Age through Neolithic farming communities and Bronze‑Age migrants. It examines archaeological, palaeoanthropological, and genetic evidence to show how successive waves of peoples left layered legacies in landscapes and material culture. We also discuss where the evidence ends and what remains open to interpretation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
