According to Heritagedaily, an international study led by researchers at the University of Friedrich Schiller, found that 80,000-year-old stone blades created by Arabian Homo Sapiens are the oldest in the production of systematic stones in the Arabian Peninsula. It represents evidence..
Research papers detailing these findings have been published in the scientific journals of classical and anthropology.
“Our results show that South Arabia played a completely different role in the establishment and cultural diversification of the homo sapiens population in Southwest Asia than in the northern part of the peninsula,” Dr. Bretzke, Jenna, Friedrich Schiller University, said. It states. This finding, as Bretzke pointed out, provides new insights into the history of human habitation in Arabia and the routes Homo sapiens may have used in their expansion from Africa.
Jebel Faya is an archaeological site located near the town of Almadam in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and is a human occupation from the Paleostemic to the Bronze Age, 210,000 to 10,000 years ago. We have revealed evidence of this. The excavations of Jebel Faya were extensive, reaching depths of up to 5 meters, and discovered a group of tools from the Paleolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Ages.
As reported by Phys.org, analysis was carried out using luminescent technology, a collection of stones found in Jebel Faya found in Jebel Faya. According to Heritagedaily, the set of stone tools during this period is characterized by elongated flakes with parallel edges, mainly manufactured using bidirectional methods. According to the study authors, these stone tools are made by Homo sapiens and are the oldest evidence of the systematic stone production of the Arabian Peninsula.
Previous research shows that humans have lived on and off the region for over 200,000 years, and ongoing research has led archaeologists to shed more light on the region's history and mechanisms that enable human adaptation. I hope to reveal more evidence. Changes in climatic conditions.
Meanwhile, Arabia was characterized by the presence of permanent rivers and lake layers, which promoted human occupation in the area, labrujulaverde.com Report. These preferred conditions have emerged a similar tradition in the production of stone tools throughout the Arabian Peninsula.
However, the transition to the extreme aridity stage has begun to emerge distinct cultural developments in northern and southern Arabia, as labrujulaverde.com points out. Data obtained from Jebel Faya suggests that one of the early human migrations took place along the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula about 80,000 years ago, and could be heading north rather than returning to Africa. It suggests. This differentiation in southern Arabia is an important aspect in understanding the chronology and trajectory of early homo sapiens migration from Africa to Asia, which occurred in multiple waves beginning at least 150,000 years ago.
The discovery that Homo sapiens is firmly established throughout the Arabian Peninsula suggests that they may live between Africa and Asia when they migrate, rather than simply passing through . “If South Arabia was the Homo Sapiens route, new theories about migration from Africa to Asia and other parts of the world will need to be revised.”
Despite these advances, researchers face obstacles. So far, no Paleolithic human remains have been found in Southern Arabia. This restriction prevents direct genetic analysis that can provide complementary information about human populations that once occupied the area, according to Labrujulaverde.com. However, the absence of fossilized bones and teeth limits the ability of scientists to directly correlate these stone tools with specific genetic lines, says Labrujulaverde.com. The lack of Paleolithic human remains in southern Arabia may be due to the fact that they had moved north by then.

The archaeological project led by Dr. Bretzke includes a team of researchers from universities in Jena, Tübingen and Freiburg, as well as the University of Oxford Brooks in the UK. Scientists have worked closely with local government experts of Prime Minister Sharjah to facilitate the excavation and analysis of the archaeological material discovered.
Jebel Faya has been studying for several years. The stone crowd found in Jebel Faya may have been created by early humans planning to migrate along with many others like it. The blade design suggests that they were created as part of a systematic production effort.
