The wild bridge that you have not heard before

For many of us, when we think about the land bridges, we tend to think about the Burning Bridge (In fact, more than a swamp,, Which was passed by old humans to reach North America from modern Siberia during the last ice age. But there was another decisive extension of the land that helped early human migration – this time, through the continent, on the Anatoli coast.

This is the main new discovery from a team of Turkish archaeologists who discovered more than 100 artifacts from ten different locations along the peninsula. It indicates that the wild bridge, now underwater, was located between the western edge of Asia and Europe, allowing humans to move between these areas. If their theory continues, it will explore an unknown chapter in the history of human immigration at a critical moment in our development and development as a type.

Useless prehistoric region

“This study explores the ancient capabilities of the Evalik era, which is an area in Western Anatolia, which has remained largely unavoidable in Pleistocene Antiquities,” the researchers wrote to them. TicketIt was published on Friday in the Journal of Al -Jazeera and the coastal antiquities. “These results reveal a previously documented saints and the establishment of Evalik as a promising place for future research on early human dispersion in northeastern Aege.”

the Old Stone Age The period – 2.6 million to 12,000 years – and Blastocein EPOCH – 2.5 million to 11700 years ago – indicates almost the same time. The previous is an anthropological term, while the latter is a geological term.

during The last ice age (Between about 120,000 and 11500 years), the Earth’s scene seemed a lot different from today. Besides huge amounts of ice, sea level was much lower. For example, the Evalik and the Peninsula is part of the extension of one of the lands that link Anatolia and Europe.

An unforgettable moment of discovery

However, scientists have believed this for a long time Hoomo, the sane He mostly arrived in Europe from Africa by traveling across the Levant and Balkan. But the newly discovered tools indicate that people were present in the landscape of Evalik. The researchers found Levalua Flake tools (stone tools that had sharp edges and were likely to be used as knives). The team argues that the results provide an alternative narration for early human migration.

“The presence of these things in Evalik is particularly important, as it provides direct evidence that the region was part of the broader technological traditions throughout Africa, Asia and Europe,” said Godnor Karahan, an archaeologist from Hastei University. statement.

“It was a really unforgettable moment for us. It was the first tool in our emotional and inspiring hands,” Karahan added.

The objective archaeological that dates back, class drilling, and rebuilding the ancient environment will be very important to determine whether its theory is correct, including the search for artifacts at the bottom of the Aegean Sea.
