section_heading: Egzodus iz Afrike
paragraph_text: Postoje dokazi da su moderni ljudi napustili Afriku barem 125 000 godina prije današnjice koristeći dva različita pravca: dolinom Nila do Bliskog Istoka, barem do današnjeg Izraela (Qafzeh: 120,000–100,000 godina prije današnjice); i drugom preko moreuza Bab-el-Mandeb na Crvenom moru (tada je razina mora bio mnogo niža) do Arapskog poluotoka, nakon čega su se nastanili na mjestima kao što su današnji Ujedinjeni Arapski Emirati (125 000 godina prije današnjice)<ref>Andrew Lawler, Did Modern Humans Travel Out of Africa Via Arabia?, Science 28. siječnja 2011.: svezak 331, broj 6016. str. 387., : http://www.sciencemag.org/content/331/6016/387. i Oman (106 000 godina prije današnjice),<ref>Trail of 'Stone Breadcrumbs' Reveals the Identity of One of the First Human Groups to Leave Africa ScienceDaily (30 studenog 2011.) http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/11/111130171049.htm vjerojatno i Indijski potkontinent (Jwalapuram: 75 000 prije današnjice). Unatoč činjenici da na ta tri mjesta još uvijek nisu pronađeni ljudski ostaci, sličnosti među kamenim alatima pronađenih u Jebel Fayi, Jwalapuramu i nekim afričkim nalazištima ukazuju na to da su njihovi stvoritelji bili moderni ljudi.<ref>Hints of earlier human exit from Africa, http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/69197/title/Hints_of_earlier_human_exit_from_Africa  Ta otkrića mogla bi služiti kao podrška tvrdnji da su moderni ljudi iz Afrike stigli u južnu Kinu 100 000 godina prije današnjice (pećina Zhiren, Zhirendong, grad Chongzuo: 100 000 prije današnjice;<ref>Wu Liu, et al., Human remains from Zhirendong, South China, and modern human emergence in East Asia" Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 2010; : http://www.pnas.org/content/107/45/19201.full?sid=85019dbd-bb2d-4816-a4a6-35399ddf4eeb (full text; the authors seem to accept that the individual has african recent ascentry, but with asian archaic human admixture).
