EUROPE

Homo georgicus, which lived roughly 1.8 million years agoin Georgia, is the earliest hominid to have been discovered inEurope. Other hominid remains, dating back roughly1 million years, have been discovered in

Atapuerca, Spain. Neanderthal man (named afterthe Neandertal valley in Germany) appeared in Europe150,000 years ago and disappeared from the fossil recordabout 28,000 BC, with this extinction probably due to climatchange, and their final refuge being present-day Portugal.The Neanderthals were supplanted by modern humans (Cro

Magnons), who appeared in Europe around 43 to 40thousand years ago

Geology

The Geology of Europe is hugely varied and complex, and givesrise to the wide variety of landscapes found across thecontinent, from the Scottish Highlands to the rolling plains ofHungary.

Europe's most significant feature is the dichotomy betweenhighland and mountainous Southern Europe and a vast, partiallyunderwater, northern plain ranging from Ireland in the west tothe Ural Mountains in the east. These two halves are separatedby the mountain chains of the Pyrenees and Alps/Carpathians.The northern plains are delimited in the west by

the Scandinavian Mountains and the mountainous parts of theBritish Isles. Major shallow water bodies submerging parts ofthe northern plains are the Celtic Sea, the North Sea, the BalticSea complex and Barents Sea.

The northern plain contains the old geological continentofBaltica, and so may be regarded geologically as the "main

continent", while peripheral highlands and mountainous regionsin the south and west constitute fragments from various othergeological continents. Most of the older geology of westernEurope existed as part of the ancient microcontinentAvalonia.

spread throughout Europe.The IndustrialRevolution started in Europe, specificallythe United Kingdom in the late 18thcentury,and the 19th century sawWestern Europe industrialise.Economies were disrupted by WorldWar I but by the beginning of World WarII they had recovered and were havingto compete with the growing economic

Culture

The culture of Europe can be described as a series ofoverlapping cultures; cultural mixes exist across thecontinent. There are cultural innovations andmovements, sometimes at odds with each other. Thusthe question of "common culture" or "commonvalues" is complex.

The foundation of European culture was laid bytheGreeks, strengthened by the Romans, stabilizedby Christianity, reformed by the 15th-century Renaissance and Reformation, modernized bythe 18th century Age of Enlightenment and globalised

by successive European empires between the 16thand 20th centuries. According to historian Hilaire Belloc, for several

centuries the peoples of Europe based their self-identification on the remaining traces of the Romanculture and on the concept ofChristendom, becausemany European-wide military alliances were of

religious nature: the Crusades (10951291),the Reconquista (711-1492), the Battle ofLepanto (1571).[

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northernreland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK)

or Britain, is a sovereign state located off the north-westerncoast of continental Europe T he country includes the islandof Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Irelandand many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part ofthe UK that shares a land border with another statethe Republic of IrelandApart from this land border, the UK issurrounded by the Atlantic Ocean n the west and north,the North Sea in the east, the English Channel in the south, andthe Irish Sea in the west.

istory

onehenge and other examples of prehistoric culture are all thatemain of the earliest inhabitants of Britain. Celtic peoples followed.oman invasions of the 1st century B.C. brought Britain into contactith continental Europe. When the Roman legions withdrew in the 5th

entury A.D. , Britain fell easy prey to the invading hordes of Angles,axons, and Jutes from Scandinavia and the Low Countries. Thevasions had little effect on the Celtic peoples of Wales and Scotland.

even large Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were established, and the originalritons were forced into Wales and Scotland. It was not until the 10thentury that the country finally became united under the kings of

Wessex. Following the death of Edward the Confessor (1066), a dispute

bout the succession arose, and William, Duke of Normandy, invadedngland, defeating the Saxon king, Harold II, at the Battle of Hastings066). The Norman conquest introduced Norman French law andudalism.

Historically, indigenous British people werethought to bedescended from the variousethnic groups that settled there before the11th century: the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Norse and the Normans. Welshpeople could be the oldest ethnic group inthe UK. Recent genetic studies have shownthat more than 50 per cent of England'sgene pool contains Germanic Y

chromosomes, though other recent geneticanalysis indicates that "about 75 per centof the traceable ancestors of the modernBritish population had arrived in the Britishisles by about 6,200 years ago, at the startof the British Neolithic or Stone Age", and

that the British broadly share a commonancestry with the Basque people
