The 7th millennium BC spanned the years 7000 BC to 6001 BC (c. 9 ka to c. 8 ka). It is impossible to precisely date events around this millennium, and all dates mentioned here are estimates mostly based on geological and anthropological analysis.
Towards the end of this millennium, the islands of Great Britain, and Ireland were severed from continental Europe by rising seawater.
