After the evocation of archaeological discoveries show that the territory of modern Algeria was one of the first cradles of mankind, he traces the history of states that formed it then. They were related - commercial, technical and cultural - with the Middle East and, more broadly, with the countries bordering the Mediterranean: the influence Punic and Roman influence, will be crucial in shaping the political and economic organization , culture and religious orientations of the ancestors of Algerians, even if they remain heavily dependent on old Libyan-Berber substrate. - Gilbert Meynier The origins Algeria - From prehistory to the advent of Islam , La Découverte, 2007.
