For many of us, when we think of land bridges, we think about Bering Land Bridge (Actually more of a swamp), Which ancient humans prepared to reach North America from Siberia of modern day during the previous snow era. But another, a more important stretch of the critical land may be the early human migration – this time, beyond the continent, on the Anatolian coast.
It is a major new discovery from a team of Turkish archaeologists, who have highlighted more than 100 stone artifacts from ten different sites with the peninsula. They indicate that a land bridge, which is now under water, was once present between Asia and the western edge of Europe, which enables humans to move between these regions. If their principle holds, it will reveal an already unknown chapter in the history of human migration in our development and development as a species.
An unexpected prehistoric region
Researchers wrote, “This study examines the peliolithic capacity of a region atmospheric in Western Anatolia, which remains largely unclear in Playstocin Archaeological,” the researchers have written to them. StudyWhich was published in the island and coastal archaeological journal on Friday. “These findings reveal the unspecified peliolithic appearance before and establish Ivalka as a promising location for future research on early human spread in the Northeast Azian.”
Stone period Duration – Emblem 2.6 million to 12,000 years ago – and Playstosin Epoch -2.5 million to 11,700 years ago – about the same stretch for the same stretch as time. The former is a human word, while the latter is a geological word.
during Last snow era (About 120,000 and 11,500 years ago), the earth’s landscape looked very different than today. In the amount of ice, the sea level was very low then. For example, the island of Ayvalık and Peninsula, Anatolia and a part of the land connecting Europe must have been part.
An unforgettable moment of search
Nevertheless, scholars have believed for a long time Homo sepians Most reached Europe from Africa by traveling through Levant and Balkan. But the newly discovered equipment, indicating that people were present in the Begon landscape of Aywalk. Researchers found peliolithic hand axes, cleavers, and Levice Flake tools (stone tools that had sharp edges and possibly used as knives). The team argues that the findings provide an alternative tale of the early human migration.
Gockenoor Karhan, an archaeologist at the University of Hasetep, said, “The presence of these objects in Avalak is particularly important, as they provide direct evidence that the region was part of the comprehensive technical traditions shared in Africa, Asia and Europe.” statement,
Karhan said, “This was a really unforgettable moment for us. Catching the first tool in our hands was both emotional and inspiring.”
Originally dating of artifacts, strategraphic excavation, and reconstruction of the ancient environment would be important to determine whether their principle is correct, including possibly discovering artifacts on the bottom of the Aegean Sea.
