What is the origin of the Kebaran culture of the Levant?

The Kebaran culture was ancestral to the Natufian culture.

OK, but what is the origin of the Kebarans?

Wilipedia claims that
"The Kebaran was an archaeological culture that lived in the eastern Mediterranean area (c. 18,000 to 10,000 BC), named after the type site, Kebara Cave south of Haifa. The Kebaran were a highly mobile nomadic people of hunters and gatherers in the Levant and Sinai areas who utilized microlithic tools."

whereas Madilda claims that:

"This is me looking for the earliest appearance of the Halfan derived Kebaran culture arriving in Israel. The Kebarans appeared to have moved out of Northern Nubia and up as far as Syria, and as far as the Afalou site site IN North Africa. This seems to have been because of a new found taste for eating wild grasses which gave them access to a new food source, allowing greater population density which leads to a popultion expansion. All the North African populations from Algeria to Israel show varying levels of sub-Saharan ancestry at this point, but the population didn’t seem to reach as far as Morocco, or into Turkey."

Which is it? Are they from Nubia or they a "Mediterranean" people?

Note: I am not an "Egyptologist" as claimed by some still bitter, defeated, trolls creating fake profiles and posts elsewhere. Hapless losers, you still fail. My output of hard data debunking racist nonsense has actually INCREASED since you began..

^ LOL So what is Mathilda saying? That she agrees with notion of African migrations into the Levant during Epipaleolithic times?? Perhaps as long as these Africans were not "true negroids" LOL

Anyway, there is a theory held by some scholars that the Kebarans descend from the Mushabian culture of Egypt who first acquired microlithic tools, as is expressed by mathilda's writing.

lol... no doubt there must be "mixed" negroids
perhaps at the reputed "60 percent" of the
"white Nubians." She says the floated out
of Nubia. Maybe they "backflowed" in again as
Caucasoids..

Here's one for the archives on those mysterious
white Nubians. You already know the info, just
recapping.

And here's one for the archives on Brace for what
its worth.

Gimme a run down on the Mushabians again, and
where they were located.

Christopher Ehret gives a brief rundown of the Mushabian culture in his book Civilizations of Africa: A History to 1800 and they are also explained in Béatrix Midant-Reynes' book The Prehistory of Egypt: From the First Egyptians to the First..
