I was curious and so as to allow my fellow FReepers the freedom from having to search, unlike the Black Sea which did apparently have a flooding-in within human history, the Mediterranean Sea’s dry spell ended 5.33 million years ago in an event known as the Zanclean flood. So while water levels may have been effected by the Ice Age(s) glaciation, these islands were most likely islands then.

long thought to have been inaccessible and uninhabitable to anyone but modern humans. "Long thought?" is that like "consensus" and "settled science?" Are they saying that science is constantly improving, refining and even rejecting older theories?

Given modern travel, it’s always interesting to consider how much human history goes back to our ancestors putting one foot in front of the other.

“proving that the island of Naxos was inhabited by Neanderthals and earlier humans at least 200,000 years ago”
I hear they were able to achieve that by carbon dating some McDonald’s hamburgers wrappers they uncovered.
