A failed human expansion out of Africa 100,000 years ago

2026-02-17

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Early modern humans expanded out of Africa multiple times before 70,000 years ago, yet none of these populations are ancestral to living non-Africans. What caused these dispersals to fail? Here we investigate one such expansion using new evidence from southern Arabia. We present robust chronologies from four stratified sites in Dhofar, Oman, associated with Nubian Levallois technology—a...
