	Bab-el-Mandeb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The island of Perim divides the strait into two channels, of which the eastern, known as the Bab Iskender (Alexander's Strait), is 2 miles (3 km) wide and 16 fathoms (30 m) deep, while the western, or Dact-el-Mayun, has a width of about 16 miles (25 km) and a depth of 170 fathoms (310 m).
		The straits of Bab-el-Mandeb were probably witness to the massive emigrations that took place out of Africa some 85.000 to 75.000 years ago.
		Sometime during the Tertiary period, the Bab el Mandeb closed and the Red Sea dried to an empty, salt-floored sink.

	Bab-el-Mandeb

	Migration Routes Out of Africa
		When correlated with the inferred geological spread of the Bab el Mandeb Strait that now separates East Africa from southern Arabia, it appears that there may have been many episodes of intermittent connections between the two plates which would have afforded an opportunity for alternative hominid migration routes out of Africa.
		In addition, a correlation between changing sea levels and the estimated changing depth of the intervening Bab el Mandeb Strait indicates several periods which would have presented possible land bridges between the African and Arabian plates.
		The results of this study raise serious questions about the possibility for alternative migration routes out of Africa which have a bearing on current interpretations of hominid evolution.
