内容简介

The discovery of many well-preserved fossil hominid primates has inspired a wealth of research on such issues as their ages, paleoecological settings, and the conditions responsible for their extinction. This book presents a comprehensive survey of current knowledge from paleoclimatological, geochronological, stratigraphic, and taphonomic perspectives and is the first to present findings on factors in the turnover or transformation of faunas and floras in various regions throughout the Neogene period.
