The Day Doggerland Drowned: The First Brexit

#history #neurodivergent #documentary Why does modern life feel so rubbish? The constant noise, the pace, the pressure, the nonsense — it sucks. In this epic full-length Digitiser documentary, Mr Biffo and Sanja travel across the windswept coastline of England and go on an adventure in search of a lost land beneath the North Sea — Doggerland, often called Britain’s Atlantis. Once home to Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, this now-submerged world might hold the key to understanding why so many of us feel out of place today — especially those who are neurodivergent. Also - Ashens analyses Biffo's dream... and we meet our ancient ancestor: Doggerman! We explore the questions the archeologists can't answer, the emotional and evolutionary dissonance between ancient life and modern expectations — and ask: Were our ancient ancestors actually happier? Topics covered include: • The story of Doggerland • Mesolithic life and the hunter-gatherer brain • Neurodivergence and sensory overwhelm • Evolutionary mismatch in the modern world • The ancient history of Britain Thank you to Isaac, Stuart Ashen, Sarah, Lee, Simon and Billy.
