Abstract

Most scientists agree that modern humans left Africa relatively recently. However, there is less agreement about the number of dispersal events and the route or routes taken by humans and when they migrated out of Africa. The earliest evidence for a dispersal of Homo sapiens into Eurasia comes from the central Levant, but it is unclear how geographically extensive this early dispersal was. Likewise, many researchers agree that Neanderthals dispersed back into the Levant during MIS 5 (123-130 Ka.), but it is uncertain where those populations originated. Information from areas geographically intermediate between the Levant and more distal parts of Eurasia is crucial to obtaining a more realistic understanding of the ebb and flow of human Pleistocene populations. This article examines Middle Paleolithic artifact assemblages from Merdivenli Cave in the Hatay Region, southern Anatolia (Turkey) in order to assess the similarities with better known assemblages from neighboring areas. The stone tools from Merdivenli Cave are characterized Levallois production similar to “Tabun C type” Mousterian assemblages, and therefore it is possible that these assemblages were also associated with archaic Homo sapiens , as in the central Levant.

merdivenli洞穴的莫斯特时期岩屑组合

大多数科学家认为现代人离开非洲的时间相对较晚。然而，关于人类迁徙的次数、迁徙路线以及何时走出非洲，人们的看法并不一致。智人向欧亚大陆扩散的最早证据来自黎凡特中部，但目前尚不清楚这种早期扩散在地理上有多广泛。同样，许多研究人员都认为尼安德特人在公元前5世纪(公元123-130年)分散回黎凡特，但不确定这些人群的起源。来自地理上介于黎凡特和欧亚大陆较远部分之间的地区的信息对于更现实地了解更新世人类种群的消长至关重要。本文研究了来自土耳其安纳托利亚南部哈塔伊地区Merdivenli洞穴的旧石器时代中期人工制品组合，以评估其与邻近地区已知组合的相似性。Merdivenli洞穴的石器具有勒瓦卢瓦生产的特征，类似于“Tabun C型”Mousterian组合，因此这些组合也可能与古代智人有关，就像在黎凡特中部一样。
