The map shows some of the early sites of human occupation in the Mediterranean region and Europe. Although some workers have proposed that animals and humans could have entered Europe from Africa across the Strait of Gibraltar or an ancient landbridge linking Africa and Sicily, the most likely route are human dispersal is via western Asia

The time of the arrival of the first people in Europe is still uncertain. As we have found in Asia by about 1.75 million years ago, but initially this species must have remained in tropical or subtropical environments.. . . .

Three ancient routes into Europe have been postulated the most obvious one is via the Levant – that is the corridor connection Northeast Africa and Western Asia, where countries like Israel and Lebanon are today. Two other possible routes could have led more directly from North Africa into southern Europe via routes which under the Mediterranean now. The more westerly one would have been from what is now Morocco into what is now Spain or Gibraltar, while a central one might have led from what is now Tunisia to Italy via Sisily. These last two routes might have een easier if the sea level was affected by the periodic growth of ice caps, thus lowering the Mediterranean and exposing more land. However, it is now thought that there was ever continuous land bridges between Africa and Europe in these two regions, so some kind of raft would have been required by any early humans pioneers experiencing such a journey. Since there is only disputed evidence of such an early use of sea-going craft (from the island of Java to neighboring Flores, about 1 million years ago), most experts believe that the eastern route into Europe via western Asia was the most viable,. . .
