Professor at DCT-UC is co-author of an article in Scientific Reports (Nature) on giant aurochs, with other megafauna and Neanderthals

A study now published characterizes footprints of giant aurochs, along with others of large prehistoric animals (megafauna) and Neanderthals, in a coastal layer with ca. 110 thousand years. The data indicate the first steps of domestication. The first author is Carlos Neto de Carvalho, whose PhD thesis is co-supervised by Prof. P. Proença Cunha.
