		The Villanovan culture, the earliest Iron Age culture of central and northern Italy, gave way in the 7th century to an increasingly Orientalizing culture that was influenced by Greek traders and Greek neighbors in Magna Graecia, the Hellenic civilization of southern Italy.
		The Etruscan civilization flourished in Etruria and the Po valley in the northern part of what is now Italy, prior to the arrival of Gauls in the Po valley and the formation of the Roman Republic.
		With the fall of Veii to the Romans, a key southern defense was destroyed, leaving the Etruscans pressed in on from all sides by several different forces, and ripe for conquest.

		The shrew has evolved a large number of physical adaptations that allow it to continue living a very energetically expensive lifestyle.
		A concentrated urine is also observed in the elephant shrew whose kidney, like the desert shrew, show a relatively thick medulla (Leon, et al., 1983).
		A good indication that the metabolic rate in the shrew is increasing, is an increase in oxygen consumption.

		Generally, insectivores are small, ranging in size from 2 g (Etruscan shrew, Suncus etruscus, the world's smallest mammal) to about 1.5 kg (moon rat, Echinosorex gymnurus).
		Ancestors of shrews can be traced back to the Oligocene (34-23.7 million years ago) in Europe and N America; those of the males to the late Eocene (about 40 million years ago) in Europe.

	Insectivora
		Only five species of shrews inhabit the South American continent, and there they are limited to the northwestern corner.
		These rare, endangered species are the solenodons - relict forms that are apparently unable to survive agricultural cultivation of the ground and the introduction of dogs, cats, house rats, and the mongoose.
		Together with the European water shrew and the North American short-tailed shrew, solenodons are among the only venomous mammals known (the male platypus has a poisonous spur on its hind feet).
