I think as early as like 14,000 years ago.

And again, this is the beginning of the Mesolithic in Europe.

And they were hunter-gatherers.

They had just basically migrated westward from continental Europe because they could get there by walking from Europe to the UK.

And they were like, this Doggerland place is pretty nice.

We're going to stick around here.

I love it.

Yeah.

So this is where the transition from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic happens.

It's pretty much what they consider the change or the beginning of the Neolithic was when people started farming.

And that happened on Doggerland.

This is where they essentially found the place that they could grow crops.

It was warmer then around this time than it is now in that area.

So they were very easily raising crops, figuring it out as they went along.

Because they were raising crops, they were more sedentary, which means that their populations grew a little larger.

So some of the things they're starting to find are evidence of villages.

There's a really amazing underwater archaeological site called Boldner Cliff off the Isle of Wight.

And they've found what seems to be like a dock that probably went out into an ancient river.

There is like burials there, houses and pits.

Like there's a lot of really cool stuff.
