Abstract
The proximal part of a human first phalanx has been found in an Upper- Pleistocene layer in the Sardinian Cave site of Corbeddu. It has been dated at approximately 20,000 y BP, and thus is the oldest human fossi l found as yet in Sardinia or in any Other Mediterranean island. Sardi nia thus must have been inhabited by Man during the Late Pleistocene.
