2. 6mya-12kya first of the glacial advances. Affected all of the planet: changed rainfall temperature, annual mean temperature. Continental shelves were exposed continents were even bigger: sunda and sahel were not connected even with exposed shelves, beringia was the land bridge allowing homo sapiens move from siberia to north. 177-194kya: misliya cave, israel, maxilla, teeth are crammed together hallmark of human teeth causing dental issues. 177-12,000 bp into israel moving into greater africa (areas were joined) Homo erectus 1. 8mya-30kya: stayed in asia for a while, e. g. Homo sapiens 50 kya: dyuktai, siberia 35 kya. Definitely 50,000 bp likely 60,000 bp: lake mungo 50 46,000 bp, devil"s lair 30 5000 bp, conservative blade tool tradition, occupational site, material/social, mobile foraging bands, landscape management, water and fire control, eel farming. Ideational: highly complex symbolic ceremonial life, dreamtime, rainbow serpent. Raises strong possibility of homo sapiens using watercraft: strong current + several km long channel, sunda + sahul.
