Dogger bank in the North Sea between Britain and the Netherlands is proving a fruitful source of early man artifacts, finding even earlier hominid from seabeds is fantastic.

I look forward to more exploration around the Azores and the Porcupine Bank west of Ireland as well

Finding anything deep on the Azores plateau would be quite amazing.

I am confident that exploration of the continental shelf around the world will drastically change our view of history regardless of the age of artifacts.

Home erectus can be read as Homo sapiens really

How so ? It's the ancestor a step before Neanderthals, Denisovans, modern humans and a couple others.

There's also the Multi-regional Hypothesis.
