First Asians
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 March 2023
ch 6: This chapter surveys the evidence for Homo sapiens behavior between 30 and 500 Ka in Southwest and South Asia (the East Mediterranean Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Indian Subcontinent). These regions have much in common with those parts of Africa on roughly the same latitude, and their paleoanthropological record differs little from one another or from that of Northern Africa. Moving into these regions seems to have required few major changes to Ancient Africans’ survival strategies. Alternatively, South and Southwest Asia could have been part of a larger Afro-Asiatic region in which H. sapiens evolved out of H. heidelbergensis.
