"The great pastoral period of the Sahara knew several waves of settlement and migrations. each one of them corresponds to an anthropological type and can already constitute a sociocultural ethnic group.
In the field of paintings the settlement initially starts with melanoderm human groups, joined little by little by white and mixed groups. But all these groups are pastors and present a great cultural unit around the breeding of the bovines as all these paintings testify"
"At the beginning of the period two types of melanoderm types cohabitated. The first one is definitely Negroid (...) The second is also melanoderm, but his negritude is attenuated, The muscles are elongated, often even slim.
This differentiation established by rupestral art was confirmed by the study of skeletons found on Tin hanakaten."
This type with fine features raised many interrogations, they appear now as possible ancestors of Fulani as already Henri LHOTE thought."
"The black group of the type known as the Tachekelaouat type are characterized by a small size, members hails and a nappy hair carried haloes some around the head like the Pygmies. It could have constituted a third variety of melanoderm settlement."
The protoberbers:
"caricatural" Painting of a europoid type with a long nose.(Sefar)
"During the pastoral period, saharan societies appear to be very diverse ethnicly and culturally, then little by little the settlement seems to be dominated by white groups. All the characteristics of this settlement show that it is in this crucible that the stock is constituted from which the first Berber populations of the Sahara will emerge. Later, other paleo-berber waves of migration will follow being added to this prehistoric stock to constitute the base of the Touareg world."
"The bovidian protoberbers are the heirs to the great Neolithic age of the Sahara, one of oldest of the world. When the aristocrats protoberbères equipped with their beautiful atours occupied the Sahara, the north of Europe discovered hardly the pottery and Egypt is not yet the territory unified nor the pole which it will become later."
"These first Berbers will carry the Neolithic era to its apogee. They will take advantage of the last wet saharan millenia. Although blonging to latest era of prehistory and that its environment still evokes a African landscape, the civilisational and artistic aspect are much closer to the Mediterranean world."
