In the Gobero Area of the Sahara Desert in Niger, a 6,000 year old "Tenerian" skeleton was found with his middle finger in his mouth for reasons that are unknown. The daily high temperature in this part of the Sahara Desert was 120 degrees, a far cry from the Green Sahara 4-9,000 years ago. (© Mike Hettwer)
