THE FIRST INHABITANTS OF NORTH AFRICA

[mezouri]

Up to the XII century B.C, North Africa or Maghreb , lived in a certain isolation from the rest of the world.This immense country,inhabited in the north by people that the GREEK historian Herodotus called Lybians.A few centuries later,the latin historian Sallustus differentiated between the Lybians in the east and the GETULES in the centre and west.

The origin of these populations goes back to the CASPIAN who came from East africa.They invaded this part of the continent in successive waves during the XX millennium.

The caspian formed the nucleus of the Maghrebi population, and according to pre-historians, they would be the direct ancestors of the Berbers.

Since the dawn of history, the Imazighen people have been the indigenous inhabitants of North Africa. (Berber is a name that has been given them by others and which they themselves do not use). Their territory reaches from Egypt to Mauritania and from the Mediterranean to the boundaries of historic sub-Saharan Africa (not North Africa). Various empires and peoples have conquered portions of historic Tamazgha (their land), beginning with the Phoenicians and Greeks and continuing through the Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Turks, French, British, Spanish, and Italians.

Sileshi Semaw, the director of the Gona Paleoanthropological Research Project in Ethiopia, said it came "from a significant period and is close to the appearance of the anatomically modern human".

Archaeologists found the cranium at Gawis, in Ethiopia's north-eastern Afar region, five weeks ago, Dr Semaw said....
