        Also interesting, 'First evidence of a Late Upper Palaeolithic human presence in Ireland', c. 10,800-10,600 cal BC:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/299344978_First_evidence_of_a_Late_Upper_Palaeolithic_human_presence_in_Ireland …

        As land bridge lost c.15,000 yrs ago, palaeolithic ppl presumably arrived in Ireland by sea? http://www.vliz.be/imisdocs/publications/239689.pdf …pic.twitter.com/83FEpnVVde

        Two maps of the coastline of Britain and Ireland as it was 15,000 and 13,000 years ago, showing that the land bridge had already disappeared by 15,000 years before present.

        St George’s Channel presumably would have widened gradually to its current 47 miles.

        Interestingly, Ireland's coast seems to have reached current profile, or close to it, much more rapidly than North Sea coast.

        does this research support the old theory of Atlantic-Mediterranean race that colonized British Isles, Ireland & Scandinavia?

        I'd read about this as a theory before but it's great to see there's now some evidence to back it up :D!
