摘要: Abstract The late Early Pleistocene (Late Villafranchian) paleontological sites of Incarcal-I (Crespia, Catalonia, Spain) and Venta Micena (Orce, Andalusia, Spain), which are approximately 800 km apart, preserve a rich fossil record proboscideans, corresponding to the species Mammuthus meridionalis. remains from have been described as an evolved form species. However, their comparison with mandible same (with approximate age 1.4–1.6 Ma) other specimens different in Europe Asia shows that fossils very similar morphology metric data. Research suggests Catalonian correspond former species, according probably chronology closer specimens.
