Résumé
For the last decade, a renew of research in the Paleolithic of Portugal with recent excavations, studies of old collections and elaborate chronological framework allow us to present a general overview about the succession of medium to large mammal communities, at least for the Middle and Upper Pleistocene in the Portuguese territory. Some taxa are reported for the first time in the fossil record, with the survival of “archaic” species until recent period within the Pleistocene. Changes in the herbivore frequencies and local large predators' extinctions are described for the Last Glacial, thus serving to a better understanding on the relation between paleoenvironment and subsistence human activities.
