The Danish palaeontologist Peter Wilhelm Lund discovered a cave filled with human bones (15 skeletons) and Megafauna (very large mammals) dating to the Pleistocene era. Eugen Warming assisted Lund 1863-1866, and described the flora of the area and the adaptations of the plants to the hazards of Cerrado - drought and fire - in a work that still stands as a paradigm of ecological study ('Lagoa Santa') .
