A huge area of land which was swallowed up into the North Sea thousands of years ago has been recreated and put on display by scientists.

Doggerland was an area between Northern Scotland, Denmark and the Channel Islands.

It was believed to have been home to tens of thousands of people before it disappeared underwater.

Was this anthropogenic or did the Earth just do it's own thing?

This is news?

They taught us this in the 70s in geography.

Probably in broad strokes though - this new article seems to be more about the detail of the region.

I think the planet did its own thing.

I didn't know about Doggerland. Certainly, it wasn't something that was covered in Geography at school.

Depends on the type of "Field" trips your Geography teacher took you on ;)

This would have been before dogging was known about or had become mainstream (ie 90s)

I'm sure we've all known there was a land bridge connecting the British Isles with mainland Europe. What's happened over the past decade or so is confirmation of the size and scale of the dry land in what is now the North Sea and English Channel that existing before the last glaciation. Palaeontologists now have a much better picture of the landscape, flora and fauna.
