Suggest that the Mousterian industry was likely produced by AMH as well as Neanderthal

Just because industry is associated with one taxa at one site does not mean this is true at other sites

The remains of one individual could be found with an assemblage made by others

Excavations at Mount Carmel in the 1930s suggest that AMH produced the MOusterian industry as well as Neanderthals

an image of hominin dispersal that is overly simple and greatly distorted

A reliance on typologies of lithic industries

this does not mean this is true of all sites

could be found with an assemblage made by others

To accept the idea of a simple straightforward dispersal route for AMH and other hominins is to oversimplify the process to the point of great inaccuracy

points to a number of sporadic and irregular migrations, characterised by numerous unsuccesful expansions and inconsistently dispersed across all parts of the old world

broad geographical scope

technolgoical advances and ability to adapt to a variety of climatic conditions. Can perhaps be attribuetd to their advanced cognition abilities compared to other extant hominins of early Pleistocene

The dispersal of sapiens out of Africa

fossil evidence of cognitively complex, anatomically modern humans appear in Africa

Humans had reached the very edges of the Old World, including Australia, Siberia and Northwest Europe
