EDITORS COMMENTS
Imagine standing in the heart of London's Trafalgar Square, but instead of Nelson's Column towering above, you are greeted by a vastly different scene. This image transports us back in time, approximately 100,000 years ago, to an interglacial period when lions truly roamed where Nelson now stands. The Trafalgar Square of ancient times presents a lush, vibrant landscape teeming with flora and fauna. In the foreground, a straight-tusked elephant gracefully navigates the terrain, accompanied by a rose chafer beetle and three hippopotamuses wallowing in the clear waters. Water lilies, water chestnuts, sedges, and red-mace add splashes of color amongst the rippling waters. Near the water's edge, a wild ox stands, observing its surroundings with curiosity. As we move our gaze to the background, we encounter a pride of lions and lionesses, their powerful forms poised and ready. Red and fallow deer graze peacefully in the distance, their antlers adorned with velvety new growth. This breathtaking illustration, created by the skilled hand of artist Neave and Parker, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of our planet and the diverse ecosystems that once existed in the very heart of London.
