10,000-year-old prehistoric crayon used by our artistic ancestors discovered in Stone Age lake

Archaeologists have discovered what they believe could be one of the earliest samples of a crayon, which was likely used by our ancestors around 10,000 years ago. The new discovery hints at the significance of colour in the lives of the ancient hunter-gatherers.
The prehistoric crayon, which is around 22mm long and 7mm wide, was found in an ancient lake in North Yorkshire, which is now covered in peat. Archaeologists also found an ochre pebble at another archaeological site at the opposite end of the lake. The ancient site dates back to the Mesolithic period, also known as the Stone Age.

Not Celts, not Angles, not Saxons, not Jutes, not Frisians, not Romans (to include soldiers conscripted conquered places); then who were the
earliest
people in the British Isles?
