<p><b>Chris Stringer''s <i>Homo Britannicus </i>is the epic history of life in Britain, from man''s very first footsteps through to the present day.</b><br><br> When did the first people arrive here? What did they look like? How did they survive? Who were the Neanderthals?<br><br> Chris Stringer takes us back to when it was so tropical we lived here alongside hippos, elephants and sabre-toothed tigers or to times so cold we hunted reindeer and mammoth, and to others even colder when we were forced to flee a wall of ice. Here is the incredible truth about our ancestors'' journey over millennia - and a glimpse of the future to see how it might continue.<br><br> ''A beautiful book on a fascinating subject, written by a world authority''<br/> Richard Dawkins<br><br> ''Superlative ... Pure stimulation from beginning to end''<br/> Bill Bryson<br><br> ''Every chapter contains something new, and throws up a fresh location that deserves to become famous''<br/> &nbs
