The early Pleistocene colonization of temperate Eurasia by Homo erectus was not only a significant biogeographic event but also major evolutionary threshold. Dmanisi's rich collection hominin fossils, revealing population that small-brained with both primitive and derived skeletal traits, has been dated to the earliest Upper Matuyama chron ( ca . 1.77 Ma). Here we present archaeological geologic evidence push back first occupations shortly after 1.85 Ma document repeated use site over last...
The Pontocaspian (Black Sea - Caspian Sea) region has a very dynamic history of basin development and biotic evolution. is the remnant once vast Paratethys Sea. It contains some best Eurasian geological records tectonic, climatic paleoenvironmental change. Pliocene-Quaternary co-evolution Black Sea-Caspian dominated by major changes in water (lake sea) levels resulting pulsating system connected isolated basins. Understanding region, including drivers lake level faunal evolution, hampered...
Another hominid skull has been recovered at Dmanisi (Republic of Georgia) from the same strata in which remains have reported previously. The site dated to ∼1.75 million years ago now produced craniofacial portions several individuals, along with many well-preserved animal fossils and quantities stone artifacts. Although there are certain anatomical differences among specimens, hominids do not clearly represent more than one taxon. We assign new provisionally Homo erectus (= ergaster )....
The lacustrine deposits infilling the intramontane Guadix-Baza Basin, in Betic Range of Southern Spain, have yielded abundant well-preserved lithic artifacts. In addition, lake beds contain a wide range micromammals including Mimomys savini and Allophaiomys burgondiae large mammals such as Mammuthus Hippopotamus together with African saber-toothed felid Megantereon . association artifacts along fossil assemblages, themselves prime significance Eurasian mammal biochronology, is providing new...
The first arrivals of hominin populations into Eurasia during the Early Pleistocene are currently considered to have occurred as short and poorly dated biological dispersions. Questions tempo mode these early prehistoric settlements given rise debates concerning taxonomic significance lithic assemblages, trace fossils, geographical distribution technological traditions found in Lower Palaeolithic record. Here, we report on Barranc de la Boella site which has yielded a assemblage dating ∼1...
A new Pliocene Konservat-Lagerstatte in north-eastern Spain is described here for the first time. It referred to as Camp dels Ninots. The particular geological conditions of site, which correspond lacustrine sedimentation a maar, made it ideal preservation fossils. At present, five large mammal skeletons anatomical connection have been recovered: three individuals Alephis tigneresi, one Stephanorhinus jeanvireti and Tapirus arvernenis, well isolated remains. minimum chelonian Mauremys...
Abstract Newly discovered Homo remains, stone artifacts, and animal fossils from Dmanisi, Republic of Georgia, provide a basis for better understanding patterns hominin evolution behavior in Eurasia ca. 1.77 million years ago. Here we describe fourth skull that is nearly complete, lacking all but one its teeth at the time death. Both maxillae mandible exhibit extensive bone loss due to resorption. This individual similar others site supplies information about variation brain size...
