No. I am saying that 15 million years ago corresponds to the middle of the Miocene epoch. The land masses of the Earth had nearly assumed their present locations and configurations at that time, which means that Greece was nowhere near the tropics then. Humans or their hominid ancestors had not yet evolved in East Africa. The earliest hominids are thought to have evolved around 7 million years ago. Modern humans evolved around 100,000 years ago. Modern humans migrated to and settled in Greece no earlier than 10,000 years ago. The main mammals found in Greece 15 million years ago were dogs, hyenas, old world monkeys and some apes.
