Interesting link! Thanks!
Does anybody knows about the circumstances at Canal sealevel at the time 8 - 6.000 years ago? I believe, that it fell dry during ebb tides than, but didn't find any links to verfy it.
In my opinion it may be important to know this. There was no such dense population, that they were driven to build ships to reach the British Islands, but they lived there and had early civilizations....

An ice age could do that, even a brief one. Locking billions of gallons of water in ice sheets tends to lower the oceanic water levels.

I, for one, think that ice ages are the real reason for man final push into sentience.

Hi!
8.000 years befo4e the sea level was a lot lower than now, because the glaciers from last ice age were mach bigger. 10.000 years B.C. the sea level was ca. 120 m lower than now!
And before I never heared about humans in Britain (the Gulfstream didn't work), but if the glaciers was shrinked (?), Britain was settled fast. So I think about how they came over the sea, without really need.
