Funnily enough Will I've just watched the first episode on Man on earth with
Tony Robinson (Baldrick) It was fascinating about humans being almost
destroyed by the Ice Ages and being saved by Global Warming.allowing the
migration from Africa, But I digress it became so cold within a lifetime *on
the early human Steppes settlements 45 thousand *years ago *and then the ice
advanced yet again and 23 thousands years ago they were almost wiped out by
a Heinrich Event that after hundreds of years the tress had all but gone
only to be replaced by tundra thus Will Hand no logs whatsoever.

Human ingenuity *triumphed and shelters were made of mammoth bones and furs
and the abundance of mammoth bones were utilised as a source of fuel. So
I'll be burning animal bones if it gets bad *oh no I get all me meat
filleted.

Are you suggesting Will is a Neanderthal? Most Dartmoor dwellers are I
reckon.
The difference between Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals is a bit of a
grey area. Like forecasting snow for Christmas.
