Fourth World Eye: "Two reports from archaeologists and climate scientists issued in the last few days call to mind how much indigenous peoples have determined our present day life and how much they will determine our future. Reuters reported last Thursday that archaeologists uncovered a pouch containing a “tool kit” at a site in the United Arab Emirates concluding that “humans became a global species” more than 125,000 years ago, or 65,000 years earlier than had been earlier thought. Traveling from northeastern Africa to the Arabian peninsula across shallow waters at the Bab al-Mandab strait peoples from Africa began the long history of peopling the world. From this beginning there were many thousands more beginnings as peoples occupied niches in the environment and adapted to climates across continents."
