North Africa consists of the six countries or territories situated between the Sahara desert and the Mediterranean: Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, and Western Sahara.
Northern Africa[a]
The prehistory of North Africa spans the period of earliest human presence in the region to gradual onset of historicity in the Maghreb during classical antiquity. Early anatomically modern humans are known to have been present at Jebel Irhoud, in what is now Morocco, approximately 300,000 years ago.[1] The Nile Valley region, via ancient Egypt, contributed to the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age periods of the Old World, along with the ancient Near East.
