Environment and Ethnicity in the Middle East

Author:P. M. Dolukhanov 

Summary:The Middle East played a particular role in the prehistory and early history of mankind. It was there that the agricultural revolution, the greatest breakthrough in the development of human productive forces, first occurred. The first cities and first states have emerged there much earlier than anywhere else in the world. The increasing evidence shows that the Ancient Middle East was a melting pot, the birth-place of new ethnicities and new languages which later spread over vast areas in the old world. Environment and Ethnicity in the Ancient Middle East follows the sociolcultural, ethnic and linguistic processes in the Ancient Middle East, combining the archaeological, environmental and linguistic evidence. Pavel Dolukhanov (an expert in environmental archaeology of the former Soviet Union) suggests that the emergence of new ethnicities and new languages primarily resulted from the adaptation to changing ecological and social environments and never included large-scale migrations
