I added boxes, colors, and river names. ZoomZoomZoom.
By this old map, Dabban has no Inner African connections.
Outside that, some amazing similarities to late Holocene / Anthrocene substructure. And, no, I don't claim 30 millennia continuity. But is there indication of archaics in anatomical moderns explaining the parallels?
Bottoms up : big box is Inner Africa; Cape to Tropic of Cancer tall box is the Nile Basin; north and south disconnected top box is the Maghreb proper; Aterian leftover box is Tropical North Africa; aka Sahara.
Already, major south north substructure is evident. The coming glacial maximum / moonsoon minimum will contribute.
Parallels top box - Maghrebi iMazaghen trop box - oases peoples nile box - 'NigerCongo' @ source, Nubian @ valley big box - south & east peoples vis a vis west and central ones
Note Lupemban in Stillbay at Malawi and south Swahili coast.

Maps like these help understand population zones and possible relations over millennia. Might copy and add or make other regional captions. Comments, and especially critiques, and additions welcome.

On this map the Delta and like 99% of Egypt are in a semi desert that spans Atlantic to Kuwait.
Only a small coastal area of what's modern Egypt was habitable Med scrub like most of the coast unto the Maghreb proper.
African "dichotomy" gets mentioned often enough. So I got to looking at the idea.
I can see some merit in the proposition.
I do not see the Maurusian Maghreb coastals or Gafsa industrials any more indigenous to final Pleistocene / early-mid Holocene Egypt than the elements from the bulk of Africa.
Circa 8250 BCE the Delta and Fayoum are grasslands. The rest of Egypt is semi-desert. Easy access is only along the Mediterranean coastline.
By c. 6900 BCE grasslands have taken over the Delta and all but a tiny bit of coast west of the delta.
From this time until extreme desert again overtakes northern Africa, no obstacle prevents trans-Africa communication across Pan-Africa.

African landscape epipaleolithic thru Late Stone Age at a glance (reduced from 1200 pixels wide) . * Morocco * Algeria * Tunisia * Libya * Egypt * Palestine * Israel * Lebanon * Syria are each one and all Mediterranean. These countries are African by both geology and original language if not by EuroVisioned geography. The earliest NW inhabitants during the Ice Age, the Maurusians, were too long ago to contribute much in looks to today's people? Not so sure. When northern Africa 'greened', there were 'Sudanese' moving into Sahara as their grasslands and savannahs expanded. Also, the near coastal people of the time? Physical anthropology labeled them first-Mediterranean and admits they had attenuated African features. Not only in touch with 'Sudani' civilization in Tropical North Africa (aka Sahara), Mediterranean Coastal Africans moved and traded across both the Gibraltar and Sicily straits during prehistory before the Libyan- Aegean-Levantine sub-Mediterranean islands and Sea Peoples era contacts. Prehistoric times southern Europe, the north Mediterranean? Its ancient DNA reveals L1 and L2 haplogroups.

Saharan-Sudanese Neolithic should just be Sudanese Neolithic or else Neolithic of Capsian Tradition should be Neolithic of Saharan-Capsian Tradition. Dialectic is everything. Note that west of east Libya the Sudanese range is well north of the Tropic of Cancer. Likewise the Gafsian range dips south of that tropic parallel east of east Libya. Millenia later we find the king of Yam setting out to smite the people of Temeh. Well before then, Euros envisioned Gafsa vs Sudan race war as they labeled one event. Q And remember this speculated origin of taMazight?

Whoops! Can't believe I sent y'all from the Chancellor Williams Destruction of Black Civilization thread to where the cattle timeline map ain't at!?! So now here tiz Colors are mine. Map itself is Hildebrand's. If I ever stumble cross the timeline source I'll update.

This is one of the finest route maps. Can't pin it down but always thought Kukiya was Pharaoh's sorcerers town This map shows Kukyia, on its own, a trade city as important as Gao. Up to 1,000 years ago direct trade went on between Gao and Dakhla Oasis Egypt. This was before the route through Tadmekka, and on to Wargla, linked Gao's trade with Tahert an Ibadiyya state of Algeria. The Bilma Trail goes back thousands of years to the Last Humid Sahara.

Not gonna post a distracting vid lecture here, but on one of the Hutchins vid lectures, one of the contributing academics made mention of the southerly route ,I'm guessing the arrow pointing one shown above, as the route taken by Coptic Christians from both Egypt and Christian Nubian States to avoid Muslim traders of which they aggressively protect said southern routes,some may have avoided the Islamic wst Sudanic states all together and dealt with animist states below the Savannah country. Then is the fact that kenem Bornu exchanged embassies and quite possibly traders with Christian Axum..all exciting stuff.

Because all of us have a Eurocentric education we overlook all of Africa except the northern third. when it comes to the early Holocene in particular. We imbibed Sahara Pump theory all the while ignoring the active West African Monsoon when it was WAM that pumped people into the passive Sahara Barham&Mitchell 2008
