Summary:
- Doggerland was a land bridge that connected Britain to continental Europe during the last Ice Age, around 20,000 years ago. It was a habitable area with forests and wildlife.
- New evidence from ancient DNA found in the sediments of the North Sea reveals the presence of animals like wild boars, deer, bears, and aurochs (an extinct species of wild cattle) in Doggerland.
- This suggests that Doggerland was not just a barren landscape, but a thriving ecosystem that supported a diverse range of animal life during the last Ice Age.
