Abstract
Indian subcontinent witnessed the hominoid evolution in the late Miocene sediments of Siwalik Hills of north¬ western sub¬ Himalayas. This area has been well known in palaeontological circles for over a hundred years, providing an abundance of fossils including some of the first evidence for extinct apes, going back to approximately 9 million years old. In this region, a prominent evidence of wide spread hominin occupation since the Middle Pleistocene has been reported which indicates varied patterns of land use and intra¬ regional mobility.
