Talk:Palaeoloxodon cypriotes

Nonsense
''Human interference leading to the extinction to the Cyprus dwarf elephant has been a controversial topic over the last decade. A rising theory is that most of the elephants became deceased during the settlement of the Mediterranean islands. A claim to support this theory is that the early Greek settlers thousands of years later incorporated the dwarf elephant into their mythology calling them Cyclopes (one-eyed monsters). This is because the skull of an elephant shows a single large hole on the forehead which does resemble an eye socket - the actual eye sockets are placed quite low on the sides of the animal's head and thus easily overlooked.[citation needed]''

So, humans were so proficient to know those elephants, that the 'proof' was their interpretation of the skull as cyclope?!? So why not to add the dinosaur extinction to who found some bones and calle them 'dragons'? Totally nonsense. 62.11.3.98 (talk) 02:58, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
