B

PART A Reading Aloud

Back then, most of Arabia was brutal desert. Is it really possible that a handful of Stone Age

people could’ve trekked through hundreds of miles of this

and gone on to populate the whole

world? There is no way they could've done it without more widespread sources of fresh water.

So,

around

70,

000

years

ago,

the

Arabian

coastline

was

very

different

to

today.

Fresh

water

springs

bubbled

up

all

the

way

along

it .If

our

ancestors

attempted

this

route,

they

would've

found a lifeline. And it

’

s perhaps no wonder that there seems to have been just ' one successful

attempt in our ancestors’ journey.
