摘要: The early Pleistocene site of Barranco Leon (Guadix-Baza Basin, SE Spain), dated to 1.4 Ma (millions years ago), records the oldest hominin occurrence in Western Europe, as evidenced by discovery one tooth and thousands Mode 1 stone tools. In this paper a detailed analysis microvertebrate content D1 D2 units from is presented. Guadix-Baza Basin characterized sharp climatic deterioration, which possibly impeded settlement region population southern Caucasus. Shortly afterwards, when conditions were again favorable, presence suddenly at Leon. According these units, mean annual temperature time deposition was significantly higher than 13 °C, with prevalent humid conditions. However, although most species inhabitants water edges, an open landscape present vicinity lake. data reported here clearly support idea that occupation Europe strongly constrained environmental conditions, rather physiography or cultural factors.
