TL;DR: The discovery of six hominid specimens from Chad, central Africa, 2,500 km from the East African Rift Valley, suggest that the earliest members of the hominids clade were more widely distributed than has been thought, and that the divergence between the human and chimpanzee lineages was earlier than indicated by most molecular studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate-Driven Ecosystem Succession in the Sahara: The Past 6000 Years
Stefan Kröpelin,Dirk Verschuren,Anne-Marie Lézine,Hilde Eggermont,Christine Cocquyt,Christine Cocquyt,Pierre Francus,Pierre Francus,Jean-Pierre Cazet,M. Fagot,Bob Rumes,James M. Russell,F. Darius,Daniel J. Conley,Mathieu Schuster,H. von Suchodoletz,H. von Suchodoletz,Daniel R. Engstrom +17 more
TL;DR: This gradual rather than abrupt termination of the African Humid Period in the eastern Sahara suggests a relatively weak biogeophysical feedback on climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic Uplift and Eastern Africa Aridification
Pierre Sepulchre,Gilles Ramstein,Frédéric Fluteau,Mathieu Schuster,Jean-Jacques Tiercelin,Michel Brunet +5 more
TL;DR: This work suggests that the uplift of eastern African topography led to a drastic reorganization of atmospheric circulation, engendering the strong aridification and paleoenvironmental changes suggested by the data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geology and palaeontology of the Upper Miocene Toros-Menalla hominid locality, Chad
Patrick Vignaud,Philippe Duringer,Hassane Taïsso Mackaye,Andossa Likius,Andossa Likius,Cécile Blondel,Jean-Renaud Boisserie,Louis de Bonis,Véra Eisenmann,Marie-Esther Etienne,Denis Geraads,Franck Guy,Franck Guy,Thomas Lehmann,Fabrice Lihoreau,Nieves López-Martínez,Cécile Mourer-Chauviré,Olga Otero,Jean-Claude Rage,Mathieu Schuster,Laurent Viriot,Antoine Zazzo,Michel Brunet +22 more
TL;DR: The fauna from Toros-Menalla site 266 suggests that S. tchadensis lived close to a lake, but not far from a sandy desert, perhaps the oldest record of desert conditions in the Neogene of northern central Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
The age of the Sahara desert.
Mathieu Schuster,Mathieu Schuster,Philippe Duringer,Jean-François Ghienne,Patrick Vignaud,Hassan Taisso Mackaye,Andossa Likius,Michel Brunet +7 more
TL;DR: The discovery of 7,000,000-year-old eolian dune deposits from the northern Chad Basin is reported on, which is the oldest known evidence for desert occurrence in the Sahara.
