Man made fire 350,000 years earlier than previously thought, discovery in Suffolk suggests
Groundbreaking find makes compelling case that humans were lighting fires much earlier than originally believed
Humans mastered the art of creating fire 400,000 years ago, almost 350,000 years earlier than previously known, according to a groundbreaking discovery in a field in Suffolk.
It is known that humans used natural fire more than 1m years ago, but until now the earliest unambiguous example of humans lighting fires came from a site in northern France dating from 50,000 years ago. Continue reading...

Maybe Farage's constant appearances need to come with one of those Talking Pictures TV style warnings:
"Nigel Farage was born in 1964. Some viewers may be offended by his comments and attitudes which reflect the time in which he was made."
"Nigel Farage was born in 1964. Some viewers may be offended by his comments and attitudes which reflect the time in which he was made."
Farage tried to excuse his past racist remarks by referencing the BBC's past output.
But the BBC now broadcasts some old shows with prominent warnings, and others it won't rebroadcast at all. So it is VERY clear that they understand that attitudes back then are unacceptable to modern sensibilities.

Great to see the UK government standing up for the BBC by telling the BBC that it should apologise to Trump. Totally spineless, as expected.
I trust any apology will be along the lines of Arkell vs Pressdram.

Looking forward to Chris Mason's piece why the BBC's editing of Trump telling his supporters to fight to overturn the election result shows just why Nigel Farage is right that the BBC needs to be shut down.

So at his weekly address to the nation, sorry, press conference, Farage claims that small businesses who thought Brexit would reduce regulation have been "betrayed".
Or, perhaps, they were lied to by people like you, eh, Nige?
