Why is it that these guys never seem to take into account the fact that sea level was as much as 400 feet lower than it is now at various times? Also that in some periods the Mediterranean was sometimes two vast lakes, and at others had dried up completely. They could have walked or swam with some of these states. Anybody have some good mappings of those old periods. I read that there are salt deposits on the floor of the Med. that are 1,000 feet thick.

The Mediterranean last refilled five million years ago. Anyone who finds archaic human remains that old will next find the egress sign for their careers.

An ice age drop of 400 feet (or 800+ nearer the poles) didn’t cause dry land bridges to appear (apart from the Bering Strait, maybe some Arctic islands, but not Antarctica AFAIK) to link major landmasses or most offshore islands.
