| | Atlantis possible source of Cro-Magnon invasions |
 | | In North Africa the Mousterian of Neanderthal was replaced by a tool industry called the Aterian, which stretched from Morocco to Tripoli, and southward into the northern portions of the Sahara. |
 | | Bruce Howe (1967) of Harvard University states: "The bulk of the datable Aterian appears to be earlier than any European Solutrean." The earliest Aterian exceeds 30,000 years and is concentrated in the west; the latest can be found as far east as the western deserts of Egypt and even to the Nile in Nubia. |
 | | The type de Mechta associated with the Aterian, Oranian, and Mouillian has been described as tall, robust, strong-jawed, large-brained, and generally resemble the Cro-Magnons in Europe (Briggs, 1955; Clark, 1970; Coon, 1962; Hiernaux, 1975). |
