The interior of the Arabian peninsula was, as it is today, hyperarid. Despite its aridity, the area supported a variety of scattered plant covers and grasses. Small lakes created by runoff from stabilized dunes provided regular sources of water for animals and humans. A great diversity of arid-adapted animal species was present, including oryx, gazelle,

Ironically, our understanding of the Levantine Upper Paleolithic is not as well developed as that of the preceding Middle Paleolithic. This largely stems from the rather substantial geographic distribution of Upper Paleolithic sites that stretch from the southern Sinai Peninsula to coastal Lebanon and inland to the eastern desert of Jordan.

The beginning of the Upper Palaeolithic is a watershed in European prehistory. It is generally characterized by a number of significant changes in stone and bone technology. It also roughly coincides with the appearance of fully modern humans on the continent. However, the precise nature of both the archaeological and biological changes, as well as the

The Upper Paleolithic Revolution
Annual Review of Anthropology, 2002▪ Abstract The transition from the Middle Paleolithic to the Upper Paleolithic is considered one of the major revolutions in the prehistory of humankind. Explanations of the observable archaeological phenomena in Eurasia, or the lack of such evidence in other regions, include biological arguments (the role of Cro-Magnons and the demise of the ...

Southern Asia Upper Paleolithic
2002The Upper Paleolithic climate in Southern Asia ranged, in general, from Mediterranean to arid and relatively hot. Periodic cycles of dry and humid conditions are suggested by some climatic studies in the region. Forests covered much of the area in the early Holocene, being replaced by grasslands later in the tradition.

At the technocultural change from the Middle Paleolithic to the Upper Paleolithic, climatic conditions of South Asia were generally tropical and humid. But the development of blade-based culture evidenced arid and hot conditions. The paleoclimatic studies carried out in the Thar desert of western India indicate that short climatic cycles of dry and ...
