"Revisiting Early Human Migration to Europe: Evidence of Three Waves"

A new study by French archaeologist Lubovic Slimak identifies a third wave of human settlers who completed the epic trek from Africa to Europe approximately 45,000 years ago. The study shows that this first Sapiens migration would actually be the last of three major migratory waves to the continent, profoundly rewriting what was thought to be known about the origin of Sapiens in Europe. The Levant was a major entryway for the first humans who left Africa to explore far-off lands, meaning that people who settled in the Levant tens of thousands of years ago may have been directly related to other human migrants who kept moving until they arrived in Europe.
