Martínez Navarro, Bienvenido

ICREA Research Professor at IPHES (Institut Català de Paleoecologia Humana i Evolució Social). Humanities

Degree in Geology (1987) and PhD in Paleontology (1991). I work in Plio-Pleistocene large mammals and participate in different projects at Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, Israel, Georgia, Italy, France and Spain, with special interest in the Orce Project (Guadix-Baza Basin, Southeastern Spain).


Research Interests

I am a paleontologist working on Quaternary mammals from Europe, Asia and Africa. Fossil hyenas, sabertoothed tigers, hunting dogs, lions, hippos, buffalos, monkeys and others are part of my life. My main interest is to describe the ecological scenario where our ancestors, the first members of the genus Homo, coming from Africa were able to colonize the middle latitudes of Eurasia and survive in seasonal climates, during the Quaternary times.
