Wait until you hear about Doggerland.
Just wait until you hear about how they discovered Doggerland once had people on it!
(That said, Doggerland wasn't a continent.)
During the early Holocene, the exposed land area of Doggerland stretched across the region between what is now the east coast of Great Britain, the Netherlands, the western coast of Germany and the Danish peninsula of Jutland.
So, it was a bit bigger.
Btw, UK and europe were all connected, until the big glacial seas from thawing ice broke loose.
The cool thing about Doggerland (to me) is we know it was inhabited by humans.
