All but the last - about 12,000 years ago - were unsuccessfulSeems a little early in this current 100,000 year cycle to declare success.

"Eight times humans came to try to live in Britain and on at least seven occasions they failed - beaten back by freezing conditions. "
If the humans came in 8 times and are still there then I would say they failed AT MOST seven times, but then, I've never learned journalism math.

My vote is for the Dwarves, but my son roots for the Elves.

Coulda been the leprechauns, too. They later migrated to Ireland.

I bet my laptop that no human or pre-human remains have been found in Great Britain that date back 700,000 years.
Go ahead...send a smile into my otherwise mundane day.

Those were hobbits. Most people make this mistake, a natural. :0

Climate change is cyclical and not linear? Man may not be in control of it? Who knew?
Seriously, it is frustrating but also tantalizing, as technology develops, how much of the story of early mankind may be told by yet to be discovered underwater sites.

Homo erectus (taking the macroevolutionary track; going along with 700,000 years)?

Modern Britons are advanced enough to build insulation and air conditioning into their buildings.

It's odd how some Rings fans have actually calculated the ages of Arda to the Gregorian(?) dating system.

Fiction is fun, even when people confuse it with reality.

Odd is reading type from an elf who died in the First Age and has never come back. :)
But seriously, Karen Wynn Fonstad did that for her Atlas of Middle Earth. Not really much point other that to give a time reference within that world, but it always amuses me when something pops up in the real world and reminds me.
