It is interesting that everyone puts all of the evidence of Middle
Eastern influences down to Neolithic. Culturally some of it can have
been "mesolithic" as the mesolithic microliths, and the bow and arrow,
seem to have also began in Africa and travelled to Europe via the
Middle East, with the warming of the climates post-Ice Age, long
before the Neolithic ever began.
