WHS Score 0.0 Votes 0
The Hominid sites in the sand dunes of Djourab comprise fossiliferous sectors from four different geological periods (3 – 7 million years ago) that are crucial in the knowledge of human origin. Two sites have yielded remains of ancient hominids: Koro - Toro delivered Abel (Australopithecus bahrelghazali), the first Australopithecus discovered west of the Rift Valley; and Toros Menalla, produced Toumai (Sahelanthropus tchadensis); the oldest known representative of the human lineage.
