摘要：
Lennnus remains from two Middle Pleistocene sites (Schbrungen, Germany and Boxgrove, England) are described and compared with both the Early Pleistocene Lemmus kowalskii and the Holocene Lennnus lemmus. The morphological position of the Middle Pleistocene Lemmus is discussed. The morphological differences between the studied samples indicate an increase of complexity, which is regarded as an adaptation to more abrasive nutrition at least from the Middle Pleistocene onwards or as an adaptation to climatic change. Both possibilities are discussed.
