The Louvre (LOOV(-rə)),[4] or the Louvre Museum (French: Musée du Louvre[myzedyluvʁ]ⓘ), is a national art museum in Paris, France, and one of the most famous museums in the world. It is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the city's 1st arrondissement (district or ward) and home to some of the most canonical works of Western art, including the Mona Lisa,Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory. The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built in the late 12th to 13th century under Philip II. Remnants of the Medieval Louvre fortress are visible in the basement of the museum. Due to urban expansion, the fortress eventually lost its defensive function, and in 1546 Francis I converted it into the primary residence of the French kings.[5]
The building was redesigned and extended many times to form the present Louvre Palace. In 1682, Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles for his household, leaving the Louvre primarily as a place to display the royal collection, including, from 1692, a collection of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture.[6] In 1692, the buil

1 Introduction
The aim of this article is to review the history of desertification in Africa, based on the palaeontological, sedimentological and stable isotope evidence obtained over the past 20 years in southern, central, northern and eastern Africa. The morphofunctional data yielded by the faunas (mode of locomotion, dietary adaptations such as hypsodonty, brachyodonty) provide evidence for the changes in the environment, which can be interpreted in terms of climatic changes.
At present, desert covers approximately one third of the surface of Africa, the Sahara in the north extending over 9 million km2, the Namib ca 135,000 km2, the Kalahari some 260,000 km2, with other smaller desert zones in Kenya, Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia and a large desert in neighbouring Arabia. The Neogene and Quaternary were marked by a succession of changes which affected the climate and played an important role in modifying African floras and faunas. Geological and palaeontological studies in areas that, at present, are total desert, such as Gebel Bellorat in the Western Desert, Egypt, Sahabi and Gebel Zelten in Libya, the rift valley deserts of northern Kenya, Ethiopia and Eritrea, and the Namib Desert in Namibia, reveal that during the Neogene all these areas were for a time more hum
