Question

Cold temperatures during the Late Pleistocene led to lower sea levels as a result of glaciers trapping significant amounts of water. This decrease in sea levels exposed landshelves and allowed modern humans to migrate to previously uninhabited continents. Identify the continents to which early modern humans were able to migrate due to low sea levels.

Answer 1

Answer:

Africa to Middle east to Asia and to Oceania and then to Eurasia and to America.

Explanation:

• The human migration started around 2 million years ago form the continent of Africa, the early humans crossed the land bridges that were covered by water.  

• The population of the early homo sapiens migrated to Europe between the 130,000 and 115,000 million years ago. Reaching china through the nile valley and heading to the middle east into modern Israel by the Strait on the Red Sea at the time sea level was much lower and narrow.

• The migration continued through Asia to the southeastern coast and entering the Australia 50,000 years ago. At the time of the last glacial maximum. Also, the coastal population around the southeast Asia grew with the dispersal of the humans giving rise to the old and the new world i.e America.

• Paleo Indians emerged for central Asia crossing the Beringia land bridge between the eastern Siberia and present-day Alaska. Continued by the end of the last glacial peroid i.e 23,000 years BP.
