The Sahara was green and
populated thousands of years ago, an Italian-led study said
Tuesday.
The study, led by Rome La Sapienza University's Fulvio
Cruciani and published in Genome Biology, used an innovative DNA
sequencing technique to reconstruct human migration in the area.
The Sahara was covered in lush vegetation between 12,000 and
5,000 years ago, the study found.
