Abstract

This Bachelor of Science thesis will show the changes of the coastal area of the Red Sea at the time of the Upper Pleistocene and their effects on the dispersal of anatomically modern humans (AMH). Thus insights about possible routes of migration of AMH out of Africa shall be gained. For this research the palaeoclimate, the sea level changes and the tectonic processes will be decribed. By reconstruction of coastal areas it will be shown that a trespassing of the Bab al-Mandab strait at the mouth of the Red Sea was possible during a long time at the Upper Pleistocene. In these times of low sea level stands the coasts of the Red Sea could stand for a new habitat for Homo sapiens to act as a rapid dispersal corridor.
