Well, I was of course FASCINATED by this, my area of study being specialized in the Mideast, but I always held a fascination for the Nordic civilization, especially since the mosre elite among us consider the Northmen did not HAVE civilization, since they didn't have an early enough written language...

And Hubby is 6' 8" and of most definite Nordic descent. So I'm reading him this piece if his own history, and then we came to

"They are also planning to visit Vince Gaffney, of Birmingham University and an expert in Doggerland. He says that: 'a very real, human tragedy lies behind the loss of this immense landscape', and that with global warming and sea levels rising, it has relevance today."

Which lost us both. Sickening and not science.

Yep. I saw that sentence and said to myself “I KNEW it!! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!!!”

They always have to ruin these cool articles. shows, etc. with the GW crap. Of course, they could also have talked about “as the earth continually changes, this is a great opportunity to see how humans have adapted to the changing conditions and how they responded to the environment around them, blah, blah, blah”.
