Skelettrekonstruktion von Megacerops

Die Brontotheriidae (Gr.: bronte = Donner; theríon = Tier; Syn.: Titanotheriidae) sind eine ausgestorbene Familie nashornähnlicher Unpaarhufer aus der chronostratigraphischen Serie des Eozän. Fossilien wurden in Nordamerika, Asien und, sehr selten, in Osteuropa gefunden. Charakteristisches Kennzeichen war ein massiger Körperbau. Bei größeren und häufig auch bekannteren Gattungen der Gruppe befand sich ein paariges oder rammbockartiges Horn über der Schnauze, welches im Gegensatz zu jenem der Nashörner aus Knochensubstanz bestand; das Merkmal kommt jedoch nicht bei allen Mitgliedern der Familie vor. Brontotherien lebten in dichten Wäldern und waren allesamt Pflanzenfresser mit weitgehender Spezialisierung auf Blattnahrung. Über ihr Sozialverhalten ist nur wenig bekannt. Ihre Stammesgeschichte währte fast 20 Millionen Jahre und begann höchstwahrscheinlich in Nordamerika vor rund 53 Millionen Jahren mit noch recht kleinen, tapirgroßen Vertretern. Zum Ende des Eozäns kam es zu klimatischen Veränderungen mit im Vergleich kühleren Bedingungen und damit verbunden zu offeneren Landschaften, was möglicherweise der Grund ihres Aussterbens war.  – Zum Artikel …

Portrait of an African Man

Portrait of an African Man is a painting by the Netherlandish Renaissance painter Jan Mostaert from between c. 1520 and 1530. The exact subject of the painting has long been unclear. Suggestions include that the subject is Christophle le More (Christopher the Moor), a black archer at the court of Emperor Charles V, or Saint Maurice, who was typically portrayed as black. If it is a portrait of a specific real individual, it appears to be the earliest known portrait of a black man in European painting.

Painting: Jan Mostaert
