Katerina Harvati, Mirjana Roksandic (eds.). Paleoanthropology of the Balkans and Anatolia: Human Evolution and its Context (Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology Series)
This edited volume systematically reviews the evidence for early human presence in one of the most relevant geographic regions of Europe — the Balkans and Anatolia, an area that has been crucial in shaping the course of human evolution in Europe, but whose paleoanthropological record is poorly known. The primary aim of this book is to showcase new paleoanthropological (human paleontological and paleolithic) research conducted in the region.
The volume is organized into three sections. The first one deals with the human fossil record from Greece, the Central Balkans, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey. The second section presents the paleolithic record of the same countries. In the third part, the authors provide a synthesis of current paleoenvironmental evidence for the Balkans. Chapters summarize and systematize the available human fossil evidence, examine their context, and place them within the framework of our understanding of human evolution in Europe and beyond, as well as present new analyses of existing human fossils.
