Unlabelled: Aspects of the Quaternary sedimentary geology of South-East Asia have proven problematic in terms of interpretation as to the origins and relationships of the surface sediment layers. The MIS 20 large meteorite impact (., 788 to 785 ka) occurred within mainland South-East Asia, evident from the well-researched 'Australasian Tektite Strewn Field' which extends over at least one tenth of the surface of the Earth.

- Early human migration out of Africa occurred multiple times during the Middle and Late Pleistocene, using routes through northeastern Africa into the Levant.
- Evidence from wetland sediments in the southern Levant indicates that this area was likely more hospitable, with savannahs and grasslands during the last interglaciation, supporting human migration.
- Our research, including luminescence dating of wetland sediments in Wadi Gharandal, suggests the Jordan Rift Valley was a crucial corridor that provided sufficient moisture for migrating populations heading into western Asia and northern Arabia.
