The Southern Route “Out of Africa”: Evidence for an Early Expansion of Modern Humans into Arabia

TL;DR: The tool kit found at Jebel Faya has affinities to the late Middle Stone Age in northeast Africa, indicating that technological innovation was not necessary to facilitate migration into Arabia, and implies that AMH may have been present in South Asia before the Toba eruption.

Supporting Online Material for The Southern Route "Out of Africa": Evidence for an Early Expansion of Modern Humans into Arabia

TL;DR: The timing of the dispersal of anatomically modern humans (AMH) out of Africa is a fundamental question in human evolutionary studies as discussed by the authors, and existing data suggest a rapid coastal exodus via the Indian Ocean rim around 60,000 years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

A record of Holocene climate change from lake geochemical analyses in southeastern Arabia

TL;DR: Lacustrine sediments from southeastern Arabia reveal variations in lake level corresponding to changes in the strength and duration of Indian Ocean Monsoon (IOM) summer rainfall and winter cyclonic rainfall as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of the mid-Holocene elm decline in the British Isles

TL;DR: The most enigmatic feature of pollen diagrams from northwest Europe has been the mid-Holocene elm decline, and there has been much speculation as to the origin(s) and cause of the decline.
Journal ArticleDOI

Holocene vegetation dynamics in the northeastern Rub' al-Khali desert, Arabian Peninsula: a phytolith, pollen and carbon isotope study

TL;DR: The Holocene vegetation history of the Arabian Peninsula is poorly understood, with few palaeobotanical studies to date as discussed by the authors, and only one study has been carried out at Awafi, Ras al-Khaimah, UAE.
