And then we also know that from the Zaros Mountains, the foothill of Iran's mountains, they also came into the Levant.

And that's how the Levant is actually populated.

And I'll continue the story.

So from that point on, because of climate, we understand how climate was.

We understand also that, yes,

The Levant at that point was sustainable for having people in.

And then we have evidence now that these people migrated south into Arabia.

So Arabia is actually heavily populated by ancient Levantine populations.

So if you think about Arabia, modern Arabia was not populated from Africa.

No, it was populated from the north.

This is what ancient DNA is actually making us correct what we didn't know before.

And then that's how we do it.

Yes.

So when we talk about Bab al-Mandab or Gate of Tears,

is most likely Arabia, ancient Arabia, not the one that we know today, was populated most likely from the Gate of Tears, from Bab al-Mandab.

This is Yemen, right.

It's just across.

So Eritrea, Ethiopia, and you go- Thank you.

Yes.

So basically, the most likely scenario is ancient Arabia was populated through that route.
