| Abstract: | Palaeolithic man was never present in the lands now forming the Maltese islands. Mousterian (Neanderthal) Man was never present even in Sicily, to which Malta was for a time joined, for there, earliest man dates from the time of the second Wurm advance, when the disappearance of dwarf elephants and other warm fauna was nearing completion. Even this man is found only the northern coastal plains: he is absent from the south-east and also from Malta. |
