Several questions arise concerning both early and later dispersals: When did migration events happen? From which populations did these dispersing hominins stem? Which routes did they use? One of the likely dispersal corridors passes through Anatolia, which is situated between three continents and therefore can be seen as an important bridge among them. Despite its geographic position, paleoanthropological research in Anatolia has been limited, and the known fossil human record from this region is small. Although most of the known fossil human remains were found during early investigations, in the last decade new finds have further highlighted the importance of Anatolia in paleoanthropology.
