One area in history that really facinates me is Doggerland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doggerland

A low lying land, which was abundant with hunter gatherers, that then become flooded.

Not much is know about these people because their lands are now under the north sea. However I do wonder how these people shaped our history.

The people of Doggerland could have migrated south as their lands become flooded. which would match the timeline.


TLDR;

About 14,500 year ago, during this period of climatic upheaval, the descendants of the hunter-gatherers who survived through the Last Glacial Maximum were largely replaced by a population from another source.
