Canary Island Relics Offer New Clues Into How North African Cultures Adapted To Ocean Living

New Discoveries in the Canary Islands Shine Light on North African Coastal Cultures

This suggests that the region's coastal resources were integral to their economic framework. The insights come from a study led by Jonathan Santana at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, published in PLOS One.
