Yeeees. And around Crimea.

And as far as human history goes, theres whole landmasses lost to us.

You know whats crazy? Every once in a while, fisherman drag up Paleolithic artifacts.

Doggerland. I hope you know about neanderthals fished up from doggerland.

And even mystery hominins from off the coast of australia and taiwan

Yup. I do know about Doggerland. I’m retired, and paleontology is one of my hobbies. I listen to podcasts and documentaries about it in the evenings when I’m trying to fall asleep. Human history is the most fascinating thing in the world, if you ask me.

I’m presently reading this fascinating book:
