Washington, Jan 27 : A new study, which uses genetic analysis to study the earliest human migrations, suggests that when modern humans first migrated out of Africa over sixty thousand years ago, they settled in Arabia on their way to the rest of the world.
The new research, which is led by the University of Leeds and the University of Porto in Portugal, provides intriguing insight into the earliest stages of modern human migration.
