Re: Yet another naive question
Jul 27, 2005, 11:11
I'm not arguing with you Baz, but the thought of the pygmy shrew being introduced from the Pyrennees is mindboggling. They're so titchy and they have to eat ALL the time. I know you don't mean the Mesolithic people popped over from the Pyrennees one tuesday with a shrew in their pocket. But does it mean though that they stowed away on a boat from England/Wales to Ireland? They have to eat insects to get their calories. Could they have nibbled on a Mesolithic venison sandwich on the way over? In fact how did they get to Ireland? How did ANYTHING get to Ireland? You can see how with the land bridge things came to populate England/Wales/Scotland after the ice had retreated. But was Ireland connected to the main continent too? Oh no this is hurting my head. Someone help me.
