No, the Sahara desert is not where some of the earliest human fossils have been found. The earliest human fossils have been discovered in other parts of Africa, such as the Great Rift Valley and South Africa. The Sahara, being a desert, is not conducive to preserving fossils from this early period.
The Sahara
Yes, the Sahara is known for containing some of the earliest human fossils, particularly in regions of North Africa such as present-day Morocco, Algeria, and Sudan. These fossils provide important insights into the evolution and migration of early humans.
Millions of people live in and survive everyday in the Sahara
The Berber people still presently live in the Sahara as well as millions others who reside in cities and towns of the Sahara, such as Cairo, Egypt.
9.1 millions Km2
There are millions of people living in cities and towns in the Sahara. That's a lot more than a few.
No, overgrazing did not create the Sahara Desert. The Sahara Desert was formed as a result of shifts in the Earth's climate and tectonic plates over millions of years. Human activities like overgrazing and deforestation can exacerbate desertification, but they were not the primary cause of the Sahara.
The Sahara is 9,000,000+ square kilometers or 3,300,000+ square miles which is millions of time greater than 30 football fields.
It is impossible to get the exact number of camels living in the Sahara but estimates state that there are millions. There are several distinct types of camels living in the desert.
Millions of people live in the deserts in major cities and towns. Examples: Cairo, Egypt Las Vegas, Nevada El Paso, Texas Phoenix, Arizona Tucson, Arizona Arica, Chile Many, many more
Dr. Newton Jibunoh is the present-day explorer who has crossed the Sahara alone -- twice. He is a Nigerian who has devoted his life to the prevention of desertification. But the answer to the question who reached the Sahara first, is completely lost in the sands of time. Actually the Sahara was an area of grasslands and lakes (already inhabited by people) until it became a desert because of climate change as recently as about 4000 BC. And today the desert is still expanding -- a somber fact that people such a dr. Jibunoh would want to whole world to know. Scientists are warning us that millions of African people could be forced to move elsewhere in the near future because of this desertification.
