Abstract

Hominini kao plijen jedan je od modela koji nastoji objasniti čovjekovu evolucijsku prošlost. Rad prikazuje fosilne nalaze hominina koji nose uvjerljive dokaze perimortalne tafonomije. Na temelju utvrđivanja koegzistencije s brojnim grabežljivcima u plio-pleistocenu i izotopskih analiza pretpostavlja se da su hominini bili oportunistički lovljeni te eventualno bili redoviti plijen nekih vrsta izumrlih vrsta grabežljivaca. Donosi se sinteza teorija o adaptivnim obrambenim strategijama koje su se u hominina razvile uslijed predacijskog pritiska.

Abstract (english)

Hominins as prey is one of the models that tries to explain human evolutionary past. The thesis presents hominin fossil finds that bear convincing evidence of perimortal taphonomy. Based on the determination of coexistence with numerous predators in the Plio-Pleistocene and isotopic analyses, it is assumed that hominins were opportunistically hunted and were possibly regular prey of some extinct species of predators. A synthesis of theories on adaptive defense strategies developed in hominins due to predation pressure is presented.
