VERTEBRATE RECORDS | Early Pleistocene

, 2007
This chapter introduces the beginning of Pleistocene vertebrate records, starting from an overview of the latest Pliocene events and the Plio-Pleistocene transition. Understanding the Early Pleistocene vertebrate record is impossible without the knowledge of the events characterizing the setting of Early Pleistocene land vertebrate communities.

Vegetation context and climatic limits of the Early Pleistocene hominin dispersal in Europe [PDF]

, 2010
The vegetation and the climatic context in which the first hominins entered and dispersed in Europe during the Early Pleistocene are reconstructed, using literature review and a new climatic simulation. Both in situ fauna and in situ pollen at the twelve

Steppes, savannahs, forests and phytodiversity reservoirs during the Pleistocene in the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]

, 2010
A palaeobotanical analysis of the Pleistocene floras and vegetation in the Iberian Peninsula shows the existence of patched landscapes with Pinus woodlands, deciduous and mixed forests, parklands (savannah-like), shrublands, steppes and grasslands ...

Hominins on Sulawesi during the Early Pleistocene. [PDF]

Nature
The dispersal of archaic hominins beyond mainland Southeast Asia (Sunda)1 represents the earliest evidence for humans crossing ocean barriers to reach isolated landmasses2-4. Previously, the oldest indication of hominins in Wallacea, the oceanic island zone east of Sunda, comprised flaked stone artefacts deposited at least 1.02 ± 0.02 million years ago

Dietary versatility of Early Pleistocene hominins. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018
Significance Clumped and stable isotope data of paleosol carbonate and fossil tooth enamel inform about paleoenvironments of Early Pleistocene hominins. Data on woodland- vs. grassland-dominated ecosystems, soil temperatures, aridity, and the diet of Homo rudolfensis and

Infant craniofacial diversity in Early Pleistocene Homo. [PDF]

Nat Commun
The adult craniofacial diversity of early Pleistocene Homo species is relatively well-documented, but its developmental foundations is hindered by the scarcity of infant specimens with preserved skeletal features. Here, we present evidence of craniofacial development in early Pleistocene Homo infants. This study focuses on a mandible (Omo 222-1973-2744)

Dental ontogeny in pliocene and early pleistocene hominins. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2015
Hasta hace poco, nuestra comprensión de la evolución del crecimiento y desarrollo humanos derivaba de estudios de juveniles fósiles que empleaban poblaciones existentes tanto para la determinación de la edad como para la comparación. Este enfoque circular ha llevado a un debate considerable sobre las afinidades humanas y simiescas de los homínidos ...

TERRESTRIAL EFFECTS OF NEARBY SUPERNOVAE IN THE EARLY PLEISTOCENE. [PDF]

Astrophys J Lett, 2016
ABSTRACT Recent results have strongly confirmed that multiple supernovae happened at distances of ∼100 pc, consisting of two main events: one at 1.7–3.2 million years ago, and the other at 6.5–8.7 million years ago. These events are said to be responsible for excavating the Local Bubble in the interstellar medium and depositing 60Fe on ...

The Fox from Bajiazui (Qingyang, Central China) and an Update on Early Pleistocene Foxes from China

Quaternary, 2023
(1) Background: despite the fact that nowadays the genus Vulpes Frisch, 1775, is the most diverse among extant Canidae, its fossil record is utterly scarce, especially in the Asian Pliocene.
