Where did Homo sapiens travel between 60,000 and 70,000 years ago, after their appearance in Africa more than 300,000 years ago? The question has been addressed in a recent report, according to Reuters.
There is still a lot of discussion over the last resting site those courageous men and women found after leaving Africa.
According to a recent study, before spreading into Asia and Europe around 45,000 years ago, the earliest hunter-gatherer societies lived consistently in the area extending from Iran to southeast Iraq to northeast Saudi Arabia for thousands of years.
This notion stems from the examination of datasets obtained through ancient DNA or genomic analysis performed on present descendent groups.
Their hypothesis is also supported by the archeological findings.The Iranian Plateau is therefore thought to serve as the nexus connecting these communities.
Here, at the border of the meadows and woodlands, was where the first inhabitants of the region lived, taking advantage of the plentiful resources for their travels and adjusting to the changing terrain.
