We know when people Europe and Siberia were firstly populated
Near the Baikal lake in Russia traces of homo sapiens were found. These are the oldest traces of our ancestors there.
Using precise dating methods scienists were able to date back these tracesw to around 50000 yeras bce.
Interestingly data suggests that during that time temperatures in the region grew significantly.
Data comes from pollens analisys and researchers argue that warming caused forests to expand further north and allowed early homo sapiens to arrive there.
This research could change our vision of early human migrations and history.
