Nahal Me'arot (Hebrew for "Cave Stream") is a series of prehistoric caves located in the Carmel Mountain Range in northern Israel. The caves contain a unique collection of human and animal remains, as well as stone tools and artifacts from the Paleolithic era, dating back as far as 600,000 years ago.

The site consists of four main caves, the Tabun Cave, the Jamal Cave, the El-Wad Cave, and the Skhul Cave, which have been excavated by archaeologists since the early 20th century. The caves are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are considered one of the most important archaeological sites in the world for understanding the development of early human culture.

The caves provide evidence of the evolution of human culture and technology, including the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture, the development of language and artistic expression, and the emergence of religious and symbolic beliefs. The caves also contain evidence of the coexistence and interaction of modern humans and Neanderthals.
