I did not (yet 😁 ) try to answer these questions via more papers... I might tho. But it's a rabbit hole: The more I learn, the less I know.

The other peculiarity /question that arose from looking at the location was: it's relative proximity to the Strait of #Gibraltar: were homo-anything able to cross the strait during ice ages when #sealevel globally where up to 120m lower on average?
I looked for "local" Gibraltar sea level during the Pleistocene but couldn't find info.
If sealevel dropped 200m in parts of the Strait, crossing it on foot might have been possible – If sediment collected due to currents among the hills and valleys there.
If crossing wasn't possible, then seeing the unreachable land a few km away might have been a matter of philosophical debate: are we alone? What and who is out there? Much like our SETI today.
