Cover Story: Successive ice ages prompted the progressively further southward expansion of the “Mammoth Steppe” ecosystem that supported species adapted to cold environments such as mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses, and reindeer. Previously, the oldest sites known with such cold-adapted species in the Iberian Peninsula dated back to Marine Isotope Stage 6 (MIS 6, ~191–123 ka). A recently discovered reindeer tooth from Atapuerca, dated to MIS 8 (~300–243 ka), represents not only the oldest evidence of glacial fauna in the Iberian Peninsula but also the southernmost occurrence of reindeer in Europe of this age. The presence of reindeer at this latitude (42º21' N) during MIS 8 suggests that glacial conditions affected the Iberian fauna earlier and with greater intensity than previously understood.
