A lecture on the early occupation of Britain by humans is being held at England’s Creswell Crags on Tuesday, May 12th.

The talk, entitled “Britain: One Million Years of the Human Story“, will be presented by Natural History Museum anthropologist Chris Stringer.

Tickets for the lecture are £5.00.

The lecture coincides with a free, temporary exhibition showcasing some of the ancient treasures of the Natural History Museum. The exhibition, titled “Humans in Ancient Britain,” tells the fascinating story of Neanderthals and modern humans in the UK. It runs until June 7th.

Creswell Crags is a limestone gorge on the border between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, England. The cliffs along the ravine contain several caves that were occupied during the last ice age, between around 43,000 and 10,000 years ago, which contain the northernmost cave art in Europe.
