Remains of a tiny woman and 2 children were found in Sahara desert. These skeletons are 5,000 years old and provided clues to two civilizations who lived there, a thousand years apart, when Sahara region was moist and green. Paul Sereno and colleagues from University of Chicago were searching for the remains of dinosaurs in the African country when they came across these skeletons. This hot desert was moist and green at the time people lived there. The first group of people known as the Kiffian, hunted wild animals and colonized the region between10,000 and 8,000 years ago. The second group, Tenerians, lived here between 7,000 and 4,500 years ago. They were smaller and did hunting, fishing and cattle herding. But now Sahara is a desert occupied with hot blowing wind.
