The Great Amazigh Migration and the reconstruction of the green deserts of the African coast
The Great Amazigh Migration and the reconstruction of the green deserts of the African coast in the Holocene and Neolithic eras
Between 30 thousand and 9000 thousand years BC
This important anthropological discovery was confirmed after the remains of primitive humans were found at the Gobero site in Niger, representing the oldest
It inhabited the green African desert during the Holocene era (between 30 thousand and 9000 thousand years BC) and after that in the Neolithic era.

During the examination of the remains, the researchers found that they belonged to people from the Maghreb, and that they migrated to the Green Desert at that time in separate batches in search of stability and new resources.
These Moroccan people were descendants of the Iberomarusians, white peoples coming from North Africa who are considered the ancestors of the present-day Maghrebs.
The departure of these Moroccans from the Atlas Mountains, which had a very cold and harsh climate, made it difficult for them to find game, so they preferred to leave to places in the southern regions of the warm Atlas Mountains, and this began in 30 thousand years BC.
Thus, they penetrated the Maghreb desert, which was not as large as it is now, and reached what is now called the African Sahel region, which was full of rainforests, swamps, and savannas.
During the Holocene period, it was difficult for them to adapt to a hot environment full of diseases and predators, including giant mammals, megaphones, reptiles, and ferocious giant birds. Despite this, they were able to overcome the difficulties.
They were the first to carry out herding and traveling movements and to make ceramic pottery after the ninth millennium BC. They were the first to make boats for fishing in the green lakes of Africa's deserts, to make hooks and nets, to carve on rocks, and to depict their activities on natural murals.
