5,000 to 14,000 years ago, the desert Sehara It didn’t see anything like this: it was A exciting and green areaWith lakes and rivers that have a variety of animals and humans.
Now, a group of researchers have successfully analyzed the DNA of two dead veterinary shepherds 7,000 years in current Libya, It was a part of the so -called ‘green Sahara’, and its remnants were mumbled by nature.
His analysis was in the area where I wasFor the population of ancient ancient men who were unknown And genetically different, according to a collection, a new article published in the magazine this month Nature.
The people who lived in ‘Green Sahara’ are “the significant gene influence of the South Sub -Sahara population or the prehistoric groups of prehistoric European groups and the east to the north,” says one of the authors of the study. Johannes CrossMax Blanc Institute of Evolutionary Anthropological genetic expert.
“It suggests that They were genetically isolated Despite the training of animals, a cultural discovery from Africa, ”says Cross.
That invention is unexpected because they consider them to be ‘green sahara’ A human migration pavement Between North Africa and Sub -Sahara Africa.
On the other hand, the discovery of a nomadic lifestyle, including pastor, pastor, has been extended by the ‘Green Sahara’ extended by “cultural exchange instead of a large -scale migration”. Nothing SalemMax Blanc Institute of Evolutionary Anthropology Researcher.
“Our research challenges previous assumptions on the history of the North African people and Example the existence of the genetic hereditary rooted gene And for a long time isolated, “Salem says.
Another authors said, “This study highlights the importance of ancient DNA to rehabilitate human history in regions such as Central and North Africa that supports archaeological hypotheses,” said another authors. David caramelie, University of Florence.
The main writer concludes that “by clarifying the distant past of Sahara, we are trying to expand our knowledge of human migration, adaptations and cultural evolution in this major region.” Savino de LerniaFrom the University of Rome La Sabinza.
