Recent discoveries in the region are being analyzed using DNA and carbon dating techniques. This approach is providing new insights into the history of the area, which has been largely overlooked in favor of more prominent Mediterranean cultures. The findings suggest that the history of Morocco is more complex and nuanced than previously thought, with evidence of human presence dating back thousands of years.
