    No I haven't , I was more interested in the history of the very first inhabitants of Europe since there were so many different clans and changes over time. I watched another video after this one about the a group of Pagans living in a group on the coast of Scotland. The group built homes made of the slate rock on the shores and the little small settlement had 4 or 5 homes that were built using that slate but they think it was most likely covered under one roof made from whale bone and dirt and that usual grass that covered a lot of those very old underground homes like the Vikings were making much later. The homes were all connected with an underground tunnel. It would have been hard to see them since they were grass covered. The weather had the most to do with all the changes of Europe over hundreds of thousands of years, including changing the geography as well as weather cycles. All the science seems to say all of human life began on the African continent. I like that archeology and ancient history.

    Dan,Danites, Danube.
    Brit, Hebrew translation, covenant, union,alliance.
    in Hebrew Ish , man, men, or people. British.

    Judges 5:17
    Dan was one of the Israelites tribes who was a seafarer according to the Old Testament. It was written he traveled west.
    The Vikings, Celtics, were thought to be ancestors of this tribe along later with Ephram and Manassa.
    Or that's what I got out of my research years ago, may have forgotten a lot now.

    Not turning this into religion but you wanted to go way back so thats all I have. Far as cave men I don't know.

    Have you all seen a website called The Great Courses? It's college-lecture quality courses on a myriad of subjects, available on DVDs. I just got one of their sale catalogs in the mail the other day.

    Here is the history category. 271 courses on History among 10 different categories:

    Check out that site I posted. They are DVDs. The ones I have as as though it's a college classroom setting with the instructor lecturing.

    Britain was once a mighty empire, who rule was started by northern barbarian's aka Norse an Kelts, who later became civilized world leaders.
    America was the last great escape for those seeking freedom from poverty and dictatorship.
