Scientists have extracted 18-20 million-year-old enamel proteins from extinct mammal fossils from the Lake Turkana Basin.It is located in the remote northern region of Kenya. It lies in the Eastern Rift Valley with its far northern end extending to Ethiopia. Three rivers, including Omo, Turkwel, and Kerio flow into the lake, but only the Omo River is perennial, contributing 90 percent of the inflow of water each year. It stands as Africa’s fourth-largest lake and the largest permanent desert lake in the world. It is designated as the UNESCO World Heritage site and is renowned for its unique biodiversity and cultural significance.
