    Series Statement: Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology,
    Content: 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. This book will be of interest to professionals, upper undergraduate and graduate students in paleoanthropology, human paleontology and paleolithic archaeology and in a variety of related fields, including human variation and adaptation, paleontology and biogeography. It will also be appropriate as a reference book for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on human evolution and European paleoanthropology.
    Note: Section I: Human Fossil Records -- Section II: Paleolithic Record -- Section III: Synthesis of Current Paleoenvironmental Evidence for the Balkans.-Systematize the available Human Fossil Evidence.

    Series Statement: Tuebingen Paleoanthropology Book Series – Contributions in Paleoanthropology 01
    Content: In recent decades, a significant number of Pleistocene (ca. 2.6 million years–10,000 years ago) open-air and cave sites yielding elephant or mammoth bones in direct association with hominin remains and/or lithic artifacts have been discovered in Eurasia, Africa and America. Many of them show strong evidence of acquisition and processing of proboscidean carcasses by early humans, leading scientists to interpret them as “elephant butchering sites”. Indeed, proboscidean exploitation by early Homo has been proposed to have been critical for Palaeolithic human lifeways, influencing not only their subsistence, but also other aspects of early human evolution and adaptations. The nature and degree of interactions between humans and elephants comprises an important field in palaeoanthropological studies since decades, but many questions remain still unanswered or partially explored. By bringing together research papers from the fields of Palaeolithic Archaeology, Palaeoanthropology, Palaeontology, Zooarchaeology, Geology, Ethnography and Nutrition Studies, the book systematically covers a diverse array of perspectives on elephant-human interactions across the world from the Pleistocene times until today. The volume includes 19 contributions and is organized into four thematic sections: 1) The Palaeolithic record, 2) A view of the evidence, 3) Elephants in past human nutrition, and 4) Ethnography – Human-elephant interactions in recent Africa. Collectively, the volume not only showcases the current state of knowledge, but also intends to provoke renewed interest for current and further research, and build an interdisciplinary and synthetic understanding of the significance of proboscideans throughout human evolution.

    Content: Bones represent a fascinating medium that has accompanied mankind in many forms since time immemorial, be it as a raw material, as an object of religious worship or as an object in art and culture. However, less attention is paid to the fact that bones contain a great deal of information about their owners and the circumstances of their lives that can be preserved long after death. The subject of osteology, with its diverse and interdisciplinary subject areas, is dedicated to the task of unlocking this information and giving shape to the beings behind the bones. As an anthropologist at the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and as a professor at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Prof. Dr. Joachim Wahl has dedicated his life to osteology and its many facets. This volume has been compiled in his honor and to pay tribute to his work. In a total of 13 articles, renowned experts from the fields of anthropology, archaeozoology and forensics deal with the subject of bones and take the reader on a fascinating journey from the beginnings of the Neolithic Age in Europe to the present day
