Résumé
The dense interglacial forests of Central and Northwestern Europe are considered to have been less productive environments and therefore less favourable habitats for humans than the grasslands of glacial Europe. However, there are several sites which attest to the presence of hominids from the beginning of MIS 5e to its climatic optimum (Quercetum mixtum-Corylus phase). So far, there is no evidence of hominids during the Carpinus phase, and only a few archaeological sites are known from younger biozones of the Eemian. Britain seems to have been totally unpopulated due to its island position. The Early Neanderthals inhabiting Europe hunted big game and presumably cached goods and practised symbolic behaviour. Artefacts made of material found more than 60 km away from the outcrops are indicative of mobility and social networks no different to those of Neanderthals living under more continental climatic conditions.
