several dinosaur discoveries in the region, including the bizarre cow-like Dino Nigersaurus and the bus-size Super crocodile
archeology The scientists eventually uncovered 200 burials of two vastly different cultures that span five thousand years—the first time such a site has been found in one place.

Called Gobero, the area is a uniquely preserved record of human habitation and burials from the Kiffian (7700 to 6200 B.C.) and the Tenerian (5200 to 2500 B.C.) cultures, says a new study led by Sereno of the University of Chicago.

The "watershed" find also offers a new window into how these tribes lived and buried their dead during the extreme Holocene period, when a grassy Sahara dried up in the world’s largest desert.

Coming across such a site "sends a tingle up your spine," said Sereno, a National Geographic explorer-in-residence. (The National Geographic Society owns National Geographic News.)

"You’re not looking at [dinosaurs], you’re looking at your own species."

One of the most striking discoveries was what the research team calls the "Stone Age Embrace": A woman, possibly a mother, and two children laid to rest holding hands, arms outstretched toward each other, on a bed of flowers.

A wobble in Earth’s orbit—along with other environmental factors that occurred about (7700 to 6200 B.C.) 12,000 years ago—brought intense monsoons to the Sahara,

greening the desert and attracting a wave of human inhabitants, according to Sereno and colleagues.
