http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5098748.stmThe Britons of 250,000 years ago were a good deal more sophisticated than they are sometimes given credit for, new archaeological evidence suggests.
It comes in the form of giant flint handaxes that have been unearthed at a site at Cuxton in Kent.
The tools display exquisite, almost flamboyant, workmanship not associated with this period until now.
The axes - one of which measured 307mm (1ft) in length - were dug up from old sand deposits in a front garden.
