The “Omo Remains” refers to a collection of bones excavated by archaeologists between 1967 and 1974. These remains are the earliest known finds of the first anatomically modern humans emerging from Africa, an event estimated as having occurred in the middle of the Paleolithic era, over 200,000 years ago.

Arsinoitherium - Arsinoitherium was a dinosaur dating from the late Eocene and the early Oligocene epochs; 30 to 36 million years ago. It could be found in Northern Africa, a time when the region featured a tropical environment. Arsinoitherium resembles a rhinoceros in appearance, but is more closely related to the elephant. With two large horns sprouting from its head and another pair of knobby horns directly behind the larger ones, this robust animal was solidly built and presented a tough challenge to any predator.
