67 million people currently inhabit the United Kingdom - but what do we know about the original, first Britons? It's no secret when looking back into pre-history that it was a time of mass migration for animals and people alike, but who were our early inhabitants, and what can we learn about them?

Looking at the latest archaeological and scientific research, what can we know about the first traces of hominin activity on the British Isles?
