| Human/carnivore interaction in the Middle Pleistocene of Latium (Central Italy): an open question | |
| 2001 Conference Proceeding | |
Current views on the earliest peopling of Europe, and on interaction between carnivore and primitive hominids, are tested against the complex palaeontological and archaeological record of Latium. While the available evidence does not allow for a full evaluation of late Pliocene or early Pleistocene peopling, there is ample evidence of human colonisation of the area after 500 ka. During the middle Pleistocene, human groups successfully competed in Latium with modern carnivores, possibly occupying a niche that only partially overlapped with that of other predators. |
