Episode 5: Middle Palaeolithic Humans in Arabia
Listen now
Description
This week we look at the last stage of the Middle Palaeolithic. After looking at Neanderthals last week, here we get into what we know by contrast about humans in the Middle Palaeolithic, and what we have learned so far about a new, up-and-coming area of archaeological research into humans in the Middle Palaeolithic - the Arabian Peninsula. If you have any comments or questions you can reach me at [email protected] or on the website at prehistorypodcast.com.
