Parton and colleagues writing in Geology, present a unique alluvial fan aggradation record from southeast Arabia spanning the past approx. 160,000 years. Situated along the proposed southern dispersal route, the Al Sibetah alluvial fan sequence provides a unique and sensitive record of landscape change in southeast Arabia. This record is to date the most comprehensive terrestrial archive from the Arabian Peninsula, and provides evidence for multiple humid episodes during both glacial and interglacial periods.
Evidence from the Al Sibetah alluvial fan sequence indicates that during insolation maxima, increased monsoon rainfall led to the widespread activation of drainage systems and grassland development throughout regions that were important for the dispersal of early human populations.
Previously, the timing of episodes of increased humidity was largely linked to global interglacials, with the climate of Arabia during the intervening glacial periods believed to be too arid to support human populations. Parton and colleagues suggest, however, that periods of increased rainfall were not driven by mid-high latitude deglaciations every ~100,000 years, but by periods of maximum incoming solar radiation every ~23,000 years.

Really interesting. Thanks for posting.
My pleasure!
Based on the fact that the rest of the world’s humans of the past are decidedly ‘different’ than ‘Africans’...
...perhaps they migrated out of Africa for much more mundane reasons.
Ya know???
Like because it was HOT???

They were pining for the fjords. Unfortunately they didn’t know that Norway was north, not east.

The climate wasn’t like that until long after the migration began.
What I find amusing about so-called ‘scientific’ research about the ‘migration out of Africa’ is that it ignores, ostensibly for PC reasons, the fact that those that migrated were decidedly ‘different’ than those who remained.
Telling, imho.
And you can’t grow food in sand. Sam Kinison said it best: ...””Get out of the desert! You live in a ####ing desert! Nothing grows out here! Nothings gonna grow out here! Come here you see this huh? This is sand. You know what it’s going to be in another hundred years from now? It’s gonna be sand!...””
So we’re ALL African-Americans.....Reparations for Everyone!

And we haven’t been able to make that river in Arabia flow again, or stop flowing in the first place.

What is your source? I’ve tried to find something printed that backs this up. I found one but it was a Redneck, Religous, Racist sight and was very crudely written. In other words, that website does not like the scientific evidence put in front of them....
They were looking for white chicks.
Lol. Source?
So where did whites come from? Spontaneous albinism?
It’s just an amusing observation of mine that whites were alien to Africans when they ‘rediscovered Africa’...there’s probably some basis of fact to this, but who would actually fund a study of ancient reverse racism? A study that almost certainly would conclude that whites were cast out of Africa, not ‘migrated’...likely demonstrating that racism is rooted in those of color, not the converse.
That study just ain’t happenin’...
“It’s just an amusing observation of mine....”
Wow. Here I thought I was having a rational discussion.
As far as why white people are white, then you are actually closer with your statement “Spontanious albinism”. Humans have an amount of Melanin Pigment in our system. It protects us from the Suns radioactive Rays. The closer you are to the equator, the more melanin. As we scattered away from that area of Africa, we did not need as much melanin and it decreased making us whiter.
This is actually simple science that was proven long before they discussed everyone coming from Africa.
Maybe you should read that website I stumbled on. More your speed, I think.
