There was a recent finding of a "once fertile landmass" that once may have inhabited some of the earliest humans beneath the Persian Gulf. This landmass, at its peak, would have been the size of Great Britain. However, as it flooded, it also shrank in size until it ultimately vanished. Until now.
This amazing discovery has scientists debating when it was that humans left Africa. At the current time, the dates range from between 125,000 and 60,000 years ago. This article also touches on the idea that modern humans may be part caveman, due to recent evidence sequencing on the Neanderthal genome.
This is some crazy stuff. But it will definitely give more insight to where we came from and the history of the world and its geography. I am looking forward to reading more on these discoveries.
