What are some nation-states in the middle east?

What route did humans take out of Africa to migrate into the Middle East?

  • I understand that the first wave of human migration out of Africa is believed to be cross the Red Sea, into Yemen, and down a coastal route to Australia. But what about Middle Easteners? I've heard conflicting theories: One states that Middle Easteners came from the group of humans which migrated into Yemen--that they then migrated north from Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula to the Middle East. However, I've also heard that Middle Easteners were the product of a totally separate second migration out of Africa up the Nile corridor and across the Sinai Peninsula into the Middle East. Does anyone know what route Middle Easteners took to arrive in the Middle East and when?

  • Answer:

    There were two Major routes out of Sub-Sarahan Africa... One was the Nile Corridor. The other was across the Gates of Grief, from former Ethiopia to Yemen... The western coast of Africa was mostly closed off by the Western Sahara Desert. No major fresh water rivers emptied into the Atlantic Ocean for over 1000 Kilometers.

Most of the current middle easterners apparently didn't come from Africa. if you are asking what route did the take when they migrated 50,000 years ago, that isn't relevant to the current population. If they came down the Nile they would have to walk up though what is now Israel and there are rivers there. Those were modern humans that could have managed to carry water even 50,000 years ago.
