A Short Journey Into Prehistoric Arabia

Explore the prehistoric landscapes of Arabia, tracing the movements of early humans who migrated from Africa over the past two million years. The talk examines how these groups adapted to diverse environments, from lush greenery to areas inhabited by now-extinct animals. It highlights their use of stone tools, local flora, and fauna for survival, and how water served as a crucial lifeline. The speaker will provide insights into the challenges faced and strategies employed by these ancient peoples to navigate and thrive in their changing world.
