Ancient North Eurasians are predominantly of West Eurasian ancestry (related to European Cro-Magnons and ancient and modern peoples in West Asia) who arrived in Siberia via the "northern route", but also derive a significant amount of their ancestry (c. 1/3) from an East Eurasian source, having arrived to Siberia via the "southern route".
Eurasiatic [3] is a hypothetical and controversial language macrofamily proposal that would include many language families historically spoken in northern, western, and southern Eurasia. The idea of a Eurasiatic superfamily dates back more than 100 years.
Physiographically, it is the northwestern peninsula of the larger landmass known as Eurasia (or the larger Afro-Eurasia); Asia occupies the centre and east of this continuous landmass. Europe's eastern frontier is usually delineated by the Ural Mountains in Russia , which is the largest country by land area in the continent.
Mainland Eurasia is entirely located within the northern hemisphere and mostly within the eastern hemisphere, yet it touches the western hemisphere on both extremes. Thus, both the easternmost and westernmost points of Eurasia are in the western hemisphere. Mainland Eurasia crosses 200° of longitude and 76° of latitude north to south.
The pit-houses were permanent settlements, likely occupied year-round, and well-suited for the winter. The pit-houses at Amnya I are square or rectangular, oriented towards the north. The pits range from 0.6–1.8 meters (2–6 feet) in depth. The smallest measures 3.2 by 4 meters (10.5 by 13 feet), and the largest 6.1 by 6.8 meters (20 by 22 ...
Present amplitudes of Milankovitch cycles over present-day Eurasia may be mirrored in both the southern and northern hemispheres of the supercontinent Pangaea. Climate modeling shows that summer fluctuations varied 14–16 degrees Celsius on Pangaea, which is similar or slightly higher than summer temperatures of Eurasia during the Pleistocene.
between Africa and Asia (dividing Afro-Eurasia into Africa and Eurasia): at the Isthmus of Suez; between Asia and Europe (dividing Eurasia ): along the Turkish straits , the Caucasus , and the Urals and the Ural River (historically also north of the Caucasus, along the Kuma–Manych Depression or along the Don River );
