Abstract
The cave of Garrincho, southeast of Piaui (Brazil), has yielded, assoc iated with a rich Pleistocene fauna, three human remains displaying a very robust morphology. Reliable C-14 dates for the level just above p rove definitively the existence of Man before 10 ky BP in North Easter n Brazil. ((C) Academie des sciences / Elsevier, Paris.).
