Ancient humans used to live in the Arabian desert. Evolutionists say that in the beginning it
took place around 100,000 years ago but the dates of this is very doubtful.
The dry deserts of north-eastern Saudi Arabia were once wet
enough to host vibrant communities of animals – and researchers have just
found evidence that ancient
hominins lived there too.
“This paper provides the first outline of the archaeological
record of inland north-east Arabia – a vast region that has been unstudied,”
says Monika
Markowska at Northumbria University, UK, who wasn’t involved in the
work.
The research focuses on a mostly underexplored region of the
Arabian peninsula between Qatar and Kuwait. Records of a prehistoric human
presence in this area are non-existent, yet scientists know it once received
enough rain to support a thriving ecosystem.
