"Modern Humans' 20,000-Year Stay on the Persian Plateau: A Study"

A study suggests that Homo sapiens may have lived on the Persian plateau for 20,000 years after leaving Africa, filling a gap in their migration history. The researchers propose that this region served as a population hub for early humans, based on climate models and genetic data. However, some experts believe more evidence is needed to support this hypothesis, emphasizing the necessity of additional hominin fossils and climate data.
