Locals in Britain seperated from mainland by the relatively2 newly formed English Channal did not start farming until about 6000 years ago.

However, wheat was already been grown in southern Europe. It's incredibly exciting because it means Boundler's inhabitants were not isolated6 as priviously thought. In fact, they were in touch, one way or another, with more advanced Neolithic7 farming communities in southern Europe. The work by Allaby and colleagues is in the Journal Science.
