Homo Erectus And Later Middle Pleistocene Humans

Annual Review of Anthropology, 1988
Apart from several Neanderthals unearthed in Europe, the earliest discoveries of human fossils were made in Java toward the close of the last century. After finding a skullcap and later a femur at Trinil, Eugene Dubois named Pithecan­ thropus (now Homo) erectus in 1894. Since then, many more bones have come to light, in Africa as well as Asia.

Middle Pleistocene glaciations in Eurasia

The first outline of the Quaternary stratigraphy was established by the end of the 19th century. At that time the actual length of the Ice Age was still unknown. It was assumed that Northwest Europe, like the Alps, had been affected by three glaciations.

Middle Pleistocene Adaptations in India

1987
Lower Paleolithic research began in India in 1863, when geologist Robert Bruce Foote (1914) discovered a cleaver in a laterite pit at Pallavaram—a suburb of the city of Madras. In the next four decades Foote himself as well as a number of other geologists and civil servants made discoveries of Lower Paleolithic artifacts and sometimes also of ...

Middle pleistocene adaptations in Central Europe

Journal of World Prehistory, 1989
The biological evolution documented in the fossil and archaeological record of Central Europe between about 700,000 and 100,000 years ago reflects the transition fromHomo erectus to the earliestHomo sapiens. These populations created different types of industries, ranging from assemblages of small artifacts and industries with simple pebble tools to ...

The Middle Pleistocene of north Birmingham

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological Sciences, 1964
The Older Drift of north Birmingham infills a system of pre-glacial valleys. Its stratigraphy has been worked out, chiefly from borehole records, showing it to comprise the deposits of two separate glaciations—the Lower and Upper Glacial Series, and an intervening Interglacial Series.

The Early Middle Pleistocene in Europe

2020
These papers show how new research in the classic areas and Germany, but particularly in Eastern Europe, is radically altering views of the stratigraphy and palaeocology of the early-middle Pleistocene period, showing that major glaciations did not begin only in the late- middle Pleistocene.

Middle Pleistocene hominids from Olduvai Gorge, Northern Tanzania

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1980
AbstractCranial, dental, and mandibular remains of eight Olduvai hominids are described in detail. Four individuals were recovered in situ in Beds II to IV, while three more are most probably derived from Bed IV, the Masek Beds and the Lower Ndutu Beds. One specimen is of uncertain provenance.
