Description
“Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis” is a pivotal work in the study of fossil zoology, focusing on the rich paleontological record of the Siwalik Hills in northern India. This region, dating back to the late Miocene and Pliocene epochs, has yielded a diverse array of fossils, including mammals, reptiles, and birds. The findings highlight evolutionary transitions and provide insights into ancient ecosystems. Key discoveries include early hominoids and large herbivores, which illuminate the region’s climatic shifts and biogeographical connections. Overall, this work is crucial for understanding the evolutionary history of South Asian fauna and its environmental context.
