Poor polar deer teeth reveal an ice age animals in ancient Ayberian Peninsula

A fossilized tooth recovered from the Galleria site in Sierra D. Itapore (Burgos, Spain) confirms that the polar deer (Rangifer) settled 243,000 to 300,000 years ago in the area of Iberian Peninsula. According to a study published in the journal today, it represents the remains of one of the South polar deer found in the peninsula and so far creates an early record of ice animals in Eberian. Co -ranry.

The presence of cold -molding species, such as the polar deer in these substances, indicates that the climate was snowing at that time. Jovim was exposed to the Gelia GIA unit, in the same layer there were a human cranial piece and several lathe samples, which confirms that the species lives with the early human population.

This discovery was made by researchers of the MNCN-CSIC (MNCN-CSIC). Centro Nashenel De Investigatene Sobri La Evullokin Human (Senih), and the Institute Catal à Di Pelicology Human Illuki Social (IFS-CECA) has shown that a shelter is spread.

MNCN-CSIC researcher John Wayne Deer Made Med describes, “This helps improve the dating of the stratographic levels of the site, but also provides evidence of the severity of the icy period that affected the Peninsula’s residents during the Plystosin.” He added, “The presence of this polar deer in such a way shows that the effects of Iberian can affect more than the severe cold and before the first thinking.”

Recent glare increased the ecosystem known as “Memouth Stepie”, which not only hosted these large probaden but also hosted rhinoceros and polar deer. Some of these species reached Madrid and even Granada to the south, which is below the Look of Itapore.

“This work highlights the importance of studying snowfoller samples,” said Agniyasio Egular Lisagabstar, a researcher at Sinia, which allows us to better understand the adaptive capacity of the human population during the middle plason, which is about 125,000 to 800,000 years ago.
