Researchers have discovered stone tools in Norfolk, UK, that suggest that early humans arrived in Britain nearly a million years ago - or even earlier.

The find, published in the journal Nature, pushes back the arrival of the first humans in what is now the UK by several hundred thousand years.

Environmental data suggests that temperatures were relatively cool.

This raises the possibility that these early Britons may have been among the first humans to use fire to keep warm.

They may also have been some of the earliest humans to wear fur clothing.

Thought there was already a discovery along the lines of that age?

There's also a ton of stuff under the North Sea, but that's only a mere 70,000 years ago or something simular.

Aggggggggghhhhhhhhh not Norfolk. It's still the stone ages there. Nearest we got in the UK to the deep South is Norfolk. Lovely Turkeys though.
