Abstract

The morphology of the first lower molars of the Microtia species found in eight samples collected in the ‘terre rosse’ fillings of the karst fissure network of Gargano (Puglia, Italy) have been studied through bivariate and principal component analyses. The data fall into seven systematic units that indicate that at least four phyletic lineages were present in the Gargano area. The evolutionary modifications of the characteristics of the various lineages are discussed.
