A cave beneath Pembroke Castle, known as Wogan Cavern, is being hailed as a “once in a lifetime discovery” by researchers from University of Aberdeen. Excavations between 2021 and 2024 uncovered rare evidence of early humans, including Homo sapiens and possible Neanderthals, alongside animal remains like hippos, mammoths, and woolly rhinos dating back over 100,000 years. The site may document human activity from 45,000 years ago to post-Ice Age periods. A five-year excavation starting May aims to uncover more about prehistoric life, climate shifts, and human evolution in Britain. (PC: MSN)
