My new book 'Fossils of Arabia' looks at the crucial role of the Isthmus of Suez and Arabia in hominid migration.
Published in Arabic and English. ‘Stephenson’s book shatters (the) oversimplified, Orientalist and inaccurate view of life in Arabia’

My new book is out soon! 'Fossils of Arabia' - in English and Arabic. An opinion on the book: ‘Stephenson’s book shatters (the) oversimplified, Orientalist and inaccurate view of life in Arabia’

Western Iraq lies on the stable Arabian Platform, where the Palaeozoic succession is relatively undeformed and thick. Two wells in the public domain are a useful guide to the palynostratigraphy of the Palaeozoic in the region https://t.co/kgkXPTrns2
