“…3 Human-environment interactions in the Sahara have been greatly influenced by these climate fluctuations. 1 Close links between climatic variations and prehistoric human occupation of the Sahara during the early mid Holocene (10-5 kya) are documented by archeological [6][7][8] and paleoanthropological 9,10 evidence. However, genetic studies have been limited and mainly focused on uniparental markers and the role of the Nile basin as a corridor for human movements between northeastern and eastern Africa.…”

“…For most of the period 4.7-3.1 ka, the level of Lake Chad was beneath the BEG sill, precluding the transfer of tropical moisture into the Bodélé Depression via surface drainage. Human occupation of the abandoned bed of Lake Mega-Chad near the margins of present-day Lake Chad dates from 3.8 ka onward and indicates the permanence of its demise (25,26).…”
