  • New Version of the Theory of Unique and Recent Origin of Modern Man

(2014) 7: 13 - 42 ailable online at: www.ata.org.tn DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ijma.v1i7.1 Original Synthesis Article Recent out of Yemen: new version of the theory of unique and recent origin of modern man Hassen Chaabani Hassen Chaabani was born the 07 / 09 / 1947 in Tunis (Tunisia).

Abstract - It is generally accepted that the human evolutionary history was started in sub-Saharan Africa by the emergence of first individuals belonging to our genus Homo. But details of this evolution, particularly those of its last stage relating to the modern man (Homo sapiens sapiens) emergence, represent until now a controversial topic. Confusion and imprecision associated with certain concepts and definitions have accentuated this controversy and therefore helped to curb the progress of the research in this topic. In this paper I present these problems before presenting a new detailed version of the theory of unique and recent origin of modern man. This version designated “Recent out of Yemen” thesis represents a refined grand synthesis in which my advanced hypotheses are brought together with new additional details.

The obsidian comes from two sources in southern Cappadocia, East Göllü Dağ and Nenezi Dağ (380 km distant), representing the earliest evidence for these sources’ use at distance.

  • Gazelle Exploitation at Urkan E-Rubb Iia, Jordan Valley
    Hunting Specialisation and the Broad Spectrum Revolution in the Early Epipalaeolithic: Gazelle Exploitation at Urkan e-Rubb IIa, Jordan Valley by Emma Suzanne Humphrey A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by Emma Suzanne Humphrey 2012 Hunting Specialisation and the Broad Spectrum Revolution in the Early Epipalaeolithic: Gazelle Exploitation at Urkan e-Rub IIa, Jordan Valley Emma Suzanne Humphrey Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto 2012 Abstract This present research explores the impact of Flannery’s (1969) Broad Spectrum Revolution model within the context of the Levantine Epipalaeolithic, specifically the early (Kebaran) Epipalaeolithic. This model attempts to explain changes in subsistence behaviour associated with the end of the Pleistocene leading up to the development of agriculture. The Jordan valley represents an ideal model for Flannery’s marginal habitat because of the range of different flora and fauna required more intensive resource exploitation strategies. The discussion here focuses on the zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of two faunal assemblages (representing two sub-horizons) from Urkan e-Rubb IIa, a Kebaran site located in the lower Jordan Valley, and excavated by E. Hovers (Institute of Archaeology, Hebrew University Jerusalem), in 1986 and 1988. This site shows evidence of specialised gazelle hunting and processing. Initial interpretations of the site argued for a multi-purpose residential base camp, supported by lithic tool and shell bead manufacturing. ii Recent discussions of Epipalaeolithic diet breadth have concentrated on the end of the Pleistocene (Munro 2001, 2003, 2004, 2009; Stiner 2001; Stiner & Munro 2002; Stiner et al.

After going through this Unit, you would be able to: z Explain the meaning of the term Palaeolithic and Mesolithic; z Identify the tool technology associated with these cultures; z Provide illustrations from the sites associated with these cultures; z Outline the cultural features of these cultures; and z Describe the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic cultures as a process of evolution. 3.2 INTRODUCTION The beginning of the story of humans is connected with cultural evolution. As Ian Hodder (2016), the British archaeologist opines, human association with tool making and other material culture contributes to evolutionary changes, both biological and cognitive. In a similar vein, William Andrefsky Jr. (2009) has stated that the lithic technologies and how they are designed, produced, recycled and discarded, tell us about the adaptive strategies of the foragers.

  • 1167 New Dates from Submerged Late
    NEW DATES FROM SUBMERGED LATE PLEISTOCENE SEDIMENTS IN THE SOUTHERN SEA OF GALILEE, ISRAEL D Nadel1 • S Belitzky2 • E Boaretto3 • I Carmi • J Heinemeier4 • E Werker5 • S Marco6 ABSTRACT. Unusual low water levels in the Sea of Galilee (Dead Sea Fault, Israel) have caused the recent exposure of sub- merged Late Pleistocene prehistoric sites and lacustrine sediments along the southern shores of the lake. The Ohalo II site is a large fisher–hunter–gatherers camp with in-situ brush hut floors, hearths, and a human grave. The site is radiometrically dated by 25 charcoal dates to 19,430 BP (average, uncalibrated). The archaeological remains include quantities of excellently pre- served organic remains. These would not have been preserved without a rapid rise of lake level immediately after the occupa- tion, covering the remains with silts and sand. Recently a concentration of eight tree trunks were found about 1.5 km south of Ohalo II, of which five trunks were identified as Salix species and dated as a single accumulation at about 16,100 BP. The trunks, too, had to be submerged quickly together to ensure excellent preservation. The camp and the trunks were found at –212/ –213 m, almost 4 m below modern high water levels. We suggest that the finds represent two separate episodes of deposition during low lake levels, almost 3,000 radiocarbon years apart, each followed by an abrupt water rise. It is possible that climatic changes caused the observed fluctuations, though earthquakes (blocking or lowering the Jordan outlet, for example) cannot be ruled out. INTRODUCTION The study of global climatic changes during and immediately after the last glaciation is based on investigations from a wide range of sources.
