Paul Maurice Pallary
Paul Maurice Pallary (9 March 1869, in Mers-el-Kebir, French Algeria – 9 January 1942, in Oran, Vichy French Algeria) was a French-Algerian malacologist. His pioneering research on molluscs was mainly concentrated in the western part of the Mediterranean Sea and in the Middle East. He was a prolific writer on malacofauna. But his interests also extended to other fields of zoology, geology and in particular the prehistory of Northern Africa. He became known as the "Dean of North African Prehistory." In 1892 he discovered, together with François Doumergue, several paleolithic and neolithic caves at Cuartel and Kouchet El Djir. He named more than 100 mollusc species and even a few genera (''Adansonia'' Pallary, 1902; '' Corbula'' (Physoida) Pallary, 1900; ''Orania Orania () is an Afrikaner separatist town founded by Afrikaners in South Africa.

Pieds-Noirs
The ''Pieds-Noirs'' (; ; ''Pied-Noir''), are the people of French and other European descent who were born in Algeria during the period of French rule from 1830 to 1962; the vast majority of whom departed for mainland France as soon as Algeria gained independence or in the months following. From the French invasion on 18 June 1830 until its independence, Algeria was administratively part of France; its European population were simply called Algerians or ''colons'' (colonists), whereas the Muslim people of Algeria were called Arabs, Muslims or Indigenous. The term ''"pied-noir"'' began to be commonly used shortly before the end of the Algerian War in 1962. As of the last census in French-ruled Algeria, taken on 1 June 1960, there were 1,050,000 non-Muslim civilians (mostly Catholic, but including 130,000 Algerian Jews) in Algeria, 10 per cent of the population. During the Algerian War the ''Pieds-Noirs'' overwhelmingly supported colonial French rule in Algeria and were oppos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
