Neanderthals Reached Arabian Deserts 55,000 Years Ago
A new analysis of stone tools from the Nefud Desert in northern Saudi Arabia suggests Neanderthals ventured far deeper into the Arabian Peninsula than previously thought, reaching lakeside sites around 55,000 years ago. The study, published in Quaternary Science Reviews, uses statistical modelling of tool shapes to argue that Middle Palaeolithic artifacts at Jebel Katefeh-1 near Jubbah were more likely made by Neanderthals than by early Homo sapiens. This extends the known range of Neanderthals into more open, arid environments during a brief humid phase.
The research team (James Blinkhorn and Huw Groucutt) studied Levallois flakes found at a site near the remains of an ancient lake in Asia. They used optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating methods, enabling them to determine that these tool-bearing layers are 55,000-60,000 years old. During this period of time, the climate of the area transitioned from dry conditions to wet conditions, allowing the formation of lakes and grasslands in what is now a desert.
