ABsTrAcT. -We provide a first checklist and review of all recognized taxa of the world's extinct Pleistocene and Holocene (Quaternary) turtles and tortoises that existed during the early rise and global expansion of humanity, and most likely went extinct through a combination of earlier hominin (e.g., Homo erectus, H. neanderthalensis) and later human (H. sapiens) exploitation, as well as being affected by concurrent global or regional climatic and habitat changes. This checklist complements the broader listing of all modern and extant turtles and tortoises by the Turtle Taxonomy Working Group (2014). We provide a comprehensive listing of taxonomy, names, synonymies, and stratigraphic distribution of all chelonian taxa that have gone extinct from approximately the boundary between the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene, ca. 2.6 million years ago, up through 1500 AD, at the beginning of modern times. We also provide details on modern turtle and tortoise taxa that have gone extinct since 1500 AD. This checklist currently includes 100 fossil turtle and tortoise taxa, including 84 named and apparently distinct species, and 16 additional taxa that appear to represent additional valid species, but are only identified to genus or family. Modern extinct turtles and tortoises include 8 species, 3 subspecies, and 1 unnamed taxon, for 12 taxa. Of the extinct fossil taxa, terrestrial tortoises of the family Testudinidae (including many large-bodied island forms) are the most numerous, with 60 taxa. When the numbers for fossil tortoises are combined with the 61 modern (living and extinct) species of tortoises, of the 121 tortoise species that have existed at some point since the beginning of the Pleistocene, 69 (57.0%) have gone extinct. This likely reflects the high vulnerability of these large and slow terrestrial (often insular) species primarily to human exploitation. The other large-bodied terrestrial turtles, the 000e.2 Conservation Biology of Freshwater Turtles and Tortoises • Chelonian Research Monographs, No. 5As an addition to the annual checklist of extant modern turtle taxa (Turtle Taxonomy Working Group [TTWG] 2014), we here present an annotated checklist of extinct Pleistocene and Holocene turtle and tortoise species that existed in relatively recent times, prior to 1500 AD, during the history of the rise and global spread of humanity and concurrent global climatic and habitat changes. These species, recorded from archaeological and paleontological sites from the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs (Quaternary period), approximately the last 2.6 million years, are currently considered to be valid, and not synonymous with modern (post-1500 AD) taxa.These fossil species, including some unnamed taxa of indeterminate or undescribed generic or specific allocation, represent the majority of the chelonian diversity that has gone extinct relatively recently. Many of these taxa were likely extirpated by anthropogenic exploitation over the relatively long prehistory of earlier hominin (e.g., Homo erectus, H. neanderthalensi...

Resumen. En el presente trabajo se plantea la posibilidad de uso y explotación de recursos acuáticos de malacofauna e ictiofauna por el hombre pre anatómicamente moderno en África. Para ello se presentan pruebas tafonómicas de ictiofauna y también se realiza un análisis de los sistemas dinámicos y condicionantes paleoecológicos lacustres de Olduvai y fluviolacustres de la Formación Koobi Fora, como hábitats propicios para el consumo de alimentos de origen acuático. Asimismo, se exponen los posibles modelos de captación como el forrajeo oportunista tipo "R" y "T" y el forrajeo ribereño. Estrategias que pudieron ser empleadas para la captura de ictiofauna, perteneciente a las familias Clariidae y Cichlidae, como alimentos de alta calidad que tuvieron que ser esenciales para el mantenimiento y el crecimiento del cerebro de los primeros homínidos.Palabras Clave: Adaptaciones acuáticas, pruebas tafonómicas, condicionantes paleoecológicos, modelos de captación, nutrición y evolución.Abstract. The present work considers the possibility of the use and exploitation of aquatic resources of malacofauna and icthyofauna by premodern hominids in Africa. We analyse the dynamic and determining lake paleocological systems of the Olduvai Gorge and Koobi Fora Ridge, as favourable habitats for the consumption of aquatic food products, and we give taphonomic evidence of icthyofauna. We also show possible models of capture such as opportunistic foraging types "R" and "T" and riverside foraging. These are strategies which might have been used for capturing icthyofauna of the Claridae and Cichlidae families; such high quality food must have been essential for brain maintenance and development in the first hominids.Keywords: Aquatic adaptations; taphonomic evidence; determining paleoecologycal systems; models for capturing; nutrition and evolution Sumario. 1.

Bibliografía IntroducciónConsidero necesario indicar que un sector importante de la comunidad científica defiende que el fenómeno de las adaptaciones acuáticas y el uso y explotación de los recursos marinos se encuentra estrechamente relacionado con el hombre anatómicamente moderno y con el surgimiento del comportamiento moderno (e.g. McBrearty y Brooks, 2000: 453 y 491; Marean et al., 2007: 905 y 907; Cuadrado-Martín, 2016: 198). Este planteamiento deriva del paradigma de la "revolución cultural", el cual ha imposibilitado cualquier interpretación evolucionista (Cuadrado-Martín, 2016: 200) dentro de un escenario gradualista o saltacionista (véase d´Errico y Stringer, 2011). Pero actualment...
