The Arabian Peninsula may have also played an important role as a bridge between Africa and Eurasia, a study published last Wednesday (Sept 1) in the journal Nature suggests.

Much more is known about early human settlements in the Levant region - modern-day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and parts of Syria - where extensive archaeological research has been carried out for more than a century.

The impetus to look closely for archeological remains in the region came from satellite imagery that revealed traces of prehistoric lakes in now-arid regions. “We noticed colour patterns made by ancient lakes – sand dunes are kind of orange-coloured, while ancient lakes are tinted white or grey,” said Groucutt, who is also based at the Max Planck Institute.

During these windows of hospitable climate, early humans and animals moved from northeast Africa into the Arabian Peninsula, the researchers say.
