Quite apart from the archaeology, work at the site is a major contribution to island biogeography, in that the Phanourios sample—certainly the best from Cyprus and probably the best anywhere in the world—has already provided, and will continue to provide, important ecological and behavioral data on these intriguing creatures. Dwarfed island faunas are important to our understanding of the complex factors that shape natural selection in ecologically closed environments over the evolutionary long term. At Aetokremnos, we seem to have the “end” of a long sequence of hippo evolution on the island. With comparative studies of other Cypriot hippo faunas, we should be able to pin down the interval of initial colonization by what were, pres- ably, normal-sized hippos, and—if the other sites can be dated—document the dwarfing process in considerable detail. Aetokremnos would still be a significant paleontological - cality, even in the absence of evidence of a human presence there. While reading the text of the monograph, a number of questions stric | | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | | 关键词 | Aetokremnos; Pleistocene extinctions; Pleistocene fauna; Pygmy Hippopotamus Hunters; archaeological stra | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/b109876 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4757-7254-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-306-47162-9Series ISSN 1568-2722 Series E-ISSN 2730-6984 | | issn_series | 1568-2722 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2002 |
