Reasons for Settlement Review "Reasons for Settlement". Protecting women and children and keeping close to a safe refuge is a basic impulse derived from the need to ensure the survival of our genes. This impulse led naturally to a desire to develop semi-permanent and then permanent homes, where the women and children were secure. According to Wikipedia, The earliest geographical evidence of a human settlement was Jebel Irhoud, where early modern human remains of eight individuals date back to the Middle Paleolithic around 300,000 years ago. The oldest remains that have been found of constructed dwellings are remains of huts that were made of mud and branches around 17,000 BC at the Ohalo site (now underwater) near the edge of the Sea of Galilee.
