This work sets out to examine four taxa of birds from the
Quaternary of Europe that exhibit interesting morphological
anomalies cranes (Grus), grouse/ptarmigans (Lagopus), ravens
(Corvus corax) and starlings (Sturnus) to address whether these
were the result of inter- or intraspecific processes. Modern
skeletal material of these taxa from a wide geographical area was
examined so as to make a more realistic assessment of the fossils
than had previously been achieved. Similarly, fossils were studied
from a wider geographical and temporal range than before. The study
of the four chosen taxa was carried out with an acknowledgement of
a variety of theoretical issues in biology, which affect the
interpretation of such fossils.
