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.Ehlers, Jürgen +5 more

The Middle Pleistocene of north Birmingham
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological Sciences, 1964Abstract 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.

A complete human pelvis from the Middle Pleistocene of Spain
Nature, 1999The Middle Pleistocene site of Sima de los Huesos in Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain, has yielded around 2,500 fossils from at least 33 different hominid individuals. These have been dated at more than 200,000 years ago and have been classified as ancestors of Neanderthals.

The proteome of the late Middle Pleistocene Harbin individual
ScienceDenisovans are a hominin group primarily known through genomes or proteins, but their precise morphological features remain elusive because of the fragmentary nature of the discovered fossils. Here, we report 95 endogenous proteins retrieved from a nearly complete cranium from Harbin, China, dating to at least 146,000 years ago and ...

Homo Erectus And Later Middle Pleistocene Humans
Annual Review of Anthropology, 1988Apart 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. Much has

Middle Pleistocene Adaptations in India
1987Lower 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 and Lower Pleistocene: the Homo radiation
2017This chapter deals with the radiation of the genus Homo after its exit from Africa. It deals with population dispersals and the meaning of the taxon Homo erectus with respect to the African and Asian fossils. The morphological characterization of H. erectus is complemented with other sorts of evidence, such as fossil footprints.

The Early to Middle Pleistocene Italian Bovidae: biochronology and palaeoecology
2010Bovids are common elements in the Italian local faunal assemblages (LFAs), but their diversity and ecological role varied in LFAs as well as in faunal units (FUs) throughout the Early and Middle Pleistocene. Representatives of Bovini tribe are continuously present, albeit with different lineages, while “Caprini” are sporadically recorded by several ...
