became locked in ice.
As the game spread north,
our hunter-gatherers...
were forced to become fishermen
and beachcombers.
This is our new Eve,
our new family.
Direct descendants of the daughters
of the original genetic Eve...
now living on the coast,
surviving on the harvest of the sea.
Our entire survival has always
been at mercy of the climate.
When times were good
A bigger range meant more food.
But the ice age froze the world
forcing our groups into smaller
territories on the coast.
Their beachcombing diet consisted
of fish, scallops, oysters and clams.
But the Red Sea became
much saltier...
making fishing and
beachcombing more difficult.
Until recently, there was little
evidence our ancestors occupied...
the coastal areas of east Africa
or exploited marine resources.
This is Sifi Bearhay,
a geologist.
In 1 999, he was part
of an international expedition...
Iooking for evidence of modern
human occupation in Eritrea.
In the Gulf of Zula, they stumbled
on a remarkable discovery...
ancient fossilized coral reef.
The reef was dated
125,000 years old.
This is the world's first
recorded oyster bar.
6,5 kilometers long and 15 meters
above the current sea levels.
beachcombing in the world.
Buried in it are human tools,
along with fossilized oyster...
clam and scallop shells.
It's a clear evidence that our
ancestors were exploiting the sea.
This is the unit where we have
an inter-stratified layer...
of big oyster and
mollusk shells at the base.
They're pretty quite horizontal.
And this was a platform where
modern man used to be walking...
and dumping their stone tools and
some of the shells they were eating.
This is a hand ax,
with a sharp end...
and some of the shells that have
been shed from this layer.
They've been using this for
breaking the shells and eating them.
And when they were finished with it,
they would dump the hand ax...
and also the shells
and walk to the next site.
But the most important thing is not
this, because you cannot date it.
It's what you find "in situ" which
makes it very, very important.
If you see this one,
is an obsidian tool.
They have been used to smash some
of these oyster bedded that you see.
You don't see both completely
enclosed, they have been smashed...
and the goodies have been eaten.
And these are some of those
that have been discovered.
beachcombing for marine resources...
have been documented worldwide.
And very well.
These shell remains
are also a vital clue...
