Elephant Eaters of Kent

People in England have always been adventurous. Even before they were human.

Thanks to Joe Curran who sent me this BBC piece on a 400,000 year-old elephant kill site in Kent. This is pre Homo sapiens and has been attributed to H. heidelbergensis. It is the earliest elephant kill site in Britain. Nice to think of elephants roaming there, isn't it?

There is no evidence of the use of fire for cooking at this period, so the elephant was eaten raw. Hmmm.....elephant tartare.
