20.500.12556/DiRROS-18984 The Middle Pleistocene human metatarsal from Sedia del Diavolo (Rome, Italy) The peopling of Europe during the Middle Pleistocene is a debated topic among paleoanthropologists. Some authors suggest the coexistence of multiple human lineages in this period, while others propose a single evolving lineage from Homo heidelbergensis to Homo neanderthalensis. The recent reassessment of the stratigraphy at the Sedia del Diavolo (SdD) site (Latium, Italy), now dated to the beginning of marine isotope stage (MIS) 8, calls for a revision of the human fossils from the site. In this paper, we present the morphometric, biomechanical and palaeopathological study of the second right metatarsal SdD2, to both re-evaluate its taxonomical affinities and possibly determine the levels of physical activity experienced by the individual during lifetime. Results demonstrate the persistence of archaic features in SdD2 suggesting new insights into the technology and hunting strategies adopted by Homo between MIS 9 and MIS 8. anthropology evolution palaeontology antropologija evolucija paleontologija true false true Nature Publishing Group Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © The Author(s) 2024 Neznano 2024-05-23 13:46:14 2024-05-23 14:00:52 2024-05-24 03:40:31 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 15. 5. 2024; str. 1-11 article no. 6024 Vol. 14 12.
