In the same way that it opened a breach in time, the discovery in Irhoud also opened one in space.

Thanks to the work of researchers in paleoclimatology, we discover times when the Sahara was “green” – in a continent that in reality is as large as the United Sta...

In June 2017, a double publication in the distinguished journal “Nature” rocked the scientific world.
