A Presença do Blastocerus Dichotomus nas Pinturas Rupestres do Parque Nacional Serra da Capivara e Seus Indicadores Paleoambientais

Rock art from Serra da Capivara National Park, Brazil, provides critical insights into paleoenvironmental conditions during the period of human occupation. The study identifies extinct and regionally absent species—such as Blastocerus dichotomus—depicted with remarkable detail, allowing for gender differentiation through morphological traits like antlers. By analyzing these zoomorphic representations alongside existing literature, researchers reconstruct probable environmental conditions, offering a reliable paleoambiental indicator. The approach combines art analysis, faunal identification, and ecological interpretation to bridge gaps in understanding past ecosystems.
