[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] Look at the perhistoric population of Europe. The earliest people of Europe came around 30-40,000 years ago from Central Asia across Southern Russia and into Northern Europe. Later around 15-20,000 years ago the ice age caused temperatures to drop and much if not all of Europe became depopulated. Noth Africa also had major climate changes but in this case becoming a lot drier. During this period, the environment of the Maghreb was open savanna, much like modern East Africa, with Mediterranean forests at higher altitudes. The Capsian culture (named after the town of Gafsa in Tunisia) was a Mesolithic culture of the Maghreb, which lasted from about 10,000 to 6,000 BCE. It was concentrated mainly in modern Tunisia, and Algeria, with some sites attested in southern Spain to Sicily. It is traditionally divided into two horizons, the Capsien typique (Typical Capsian) and the Capsien supérieur (Upper Capsian) which are sometimes found in chronostratigraphic sequence. They represent variants of one tradition, the differences between them being both typological and technological The Capsian diet included a wide variety of animals, ranging from aurochs and hartebeest to hares and snails; there is little evidence concerning plants eaten.During the succeeding Neolithic of Capsian Tradition, there is evidence from one site, for domesticated, probably imported goats . Nothing is known about Capsian religion, but their burial methods suggest a belief in an afterlife. Anatomically, Capsian populations were modern Homo sapiens, traditionally classed into two types: Proto-Mediterranean and Mechta-Afalou on the basis of cranial morphology. Some have argued that they were immigrants from the east, whereas others argue for population continuity based on physical skeletal characteristics and other criteria,et cetera Even eralier The Eburran industry which dates between 13,000 and 9,000 BCE in East Africa, was formerly known as the "Kenya Capsian" due to similarities in the stone blade shapes. And prehistoric people in the region go back much further than that also ______________________________________________ those cultures are part of the green period of the Sahara. Phoenicians and Greeks come into the region around 800-900 BC. Similar to Europe you can't assume the earliest populations and conclude that later populations were comprised of their descendants. As far as the green period Capsians it is uncertain from where they came from or who they were but Capsian culture ended 6,000 BCE. [/QB][/QUOTE]
