EuropeGuadix-baza basin indicating some similarity with East African woodlands.On the other hand, the environments did not resemble African grassland savannas.The browse-dominated diets of ungulates from Barranco Le on and Fuente Nueva 3 further suggest palaeoenvironments where grasses were a minor component of the vegetation.In the slightly older site of Venta Micena that has no evidence for the presence of hominins, dental ecometric estimates indicate climate and environments similar to Mediterranean "forest steppe" environments existing in the surroundings of Baza today.Grasses were prevalent in the diet of some taxa, especially equids, in Venta Micena, but most of the species show browse-dominated diets even there.
