Abstract
From east to west, Aurignacian populations and civilizations moved into Europe during dry and cold climatic conditions. The zones of origin in the Middle East at that time had a steppic environment with large fauna that were rich caloric resources. Alongside many other examples, this new cultural unit has strict parallels that are clearly evidenced at Jabrud (Syria) and Yafteh (Iran). Now a desert region, during the Aurignacian this vast geographic and ethnic region extended on both sides of the Central Zagros Mountains, towards Central Asia where immense steppes seem having formed the epicenter.
