A new, much heralded programme to begin on UK TV tonight. A report from the Sunday Telegraph...

... anyone spot the glaring error, and I love they way they ducked on the question of crossing the Red Sea as well?

Can you record it and post it here, Roy?

... anyone spot the glaring error

Which one? Ignoring HE's OOA? Ignoring HSS' multi-regional emergence?

and I love they way they ducked on the question of crossing the Red Sea as well?

Ducked? The article clearly states the much lower sea levels at the time.

Ducked? The article clearly states the much lower sea levels at the time.

So only the short ones drowned?
Yep the scenario as described suggests that DNA 'proves'
that all people are are descended from that one tribe. It doesn't, it simply proves that all, including HSN, had a common ancestor. Not the same thing.

Only one.
The rest decided to wait for ebb tide.

According to the Bradshore Foundation the channel was over a 130 meters deep at that time RS, but of course you won't accept that will you?
I'll even grant you an error of 50 percent if you like, but still a bit deep for paddling.

I'll take an error of 500 percent, Roy: seismic and volcanic activity, climatic change, erosion, and tectonic movement reshape the landcape utterly!

[Digit]

I imagine that the Bradshore Foundation is aware of that as well RS. Such activities do tend to leave evidence do they not?
If you have any such evidence I would be pleased to see it, otherwise I will have to assume that the Foundation knows what it is talking about, and 100 mtrs plus means water craft.

and 100 mtrs plus means water craft.

If I recall what a meter is (damn us Yanks, huh?) then anything over 2 meters means water craft.

Unless you're good at holding your breath Min, yep!

Anyway Min, I know the answer. It was Moses leading them!

How about they did both? First they walked, wherever they could (and that was quite extensive at that time of 400 feet lower sea levels). And then, at some point, they mastered crossing deeper water. So the question would be: what was that point? What catalyst toggled the switch?

[Minimalist]

What catalyst toggled the switch?

This discussion is also going on with the Solutreans!

Why does the chicken cross the road?

Just finished watching the programme which continues next week.
One good thing about the programme is that there was no attempt to disguise theory as fact!
According to the geologists and the climatologists only two routes OOA were available at that time because of extensive arid desert.
North across the Nile and south across the Red Sea, and it seems that evidence has been found that both routes were used, but genetics seem to prove that the northern route tribe died out, leaving the southern one as the route our ancestors took.
At that time southern Arabia was well watered apparently.
Also the geologists claim that the crossing point at is narrowest was 7 kilometers, 4.2 miles wide.
