"It seems that a group of ancestors of the Homo sapiens race stopped drinking water and looking for forage at a shallow lake that was also frequented by camels, buffaloes and elephants of a larger size than any race present in the world today," says Science Advances.
The researchers believe that these effects belong to modern humans in terms of their anatomical characteristics, unlike the Neanderthals, on the basis that our extinct ancestors were not known to exist in the Middle East at that time, and based on estimates of standing position and weight associated with footprints.
It is known that the early humans extended to Eurasia through southern Greece and the East, taking advantage of coastal resources on their way, but the new research shows the existence of "internal roads that were taken according to the areas of spread of lakes and rivers, which may have been of special importance."
