The above comment has convinced me, prior to the emergence of the
Kebaran culture, groups related to European hunter-gatherers lived in the Levant, because the fossils were of a "Cro Magnon" type. The same in Europe.
The Kebaran culture I believe documents the appearance of Basal Eurasians in the Levant, Archaeologists believe they were ancestral to the succeeding Natufians, whom we know had Basal Eurasian. and we recently know Iberomaurusians carried Natufian like ancestry before the Natufians themselves, that would point to the Kebarans.
The Kebarans brought with them a new stone technology, geometric microliths, its spread I think is associated with Basal Eurasians, and it maybe the secret to their success, prior to the farming revolution.
There is another culture in the Near East that shares these innovations and appeared roughly at the same time, the
Zarzian culture in Iran. That I believe is Basal Eurasian in Iran.
Who's a fan of the
Nostratic hypothesis ? could Basal Eurasians be the proto-Nostratians ?
