 Homo neanderthalensis Larger View. |
Homo neanderthalensis Skull La Ferrassie 1 BH-019 50,000 YA. The Homo neanderthalensis Skull La Ferrassie 1 was discovered in France in 1909 and described that same year by Capitan and Peyrony. A more thorough study of the La Ferrassie skeleton was published in 1976 by Heim. La Ferrassie is considered to be a "classic" Neandertal, having features that best represent the features of its anatomy, including a low-vaulted cranium with projecting face and low forehead, pronounced double browridge, wide cheekbones, weak chin, heavily worn front teeth, a substantial nasal opening, and very large brain capacity (more than 1,600 cc). Some consider Neandertal not much more than a subspecies, H. s. neanderthalensis, of Homo sapiens, and that, rather than becoming extinct, they were absorbed into the modern human population. Others consider them a separate species, H. neanderthalensis, that eventually became extinct. Neandertals are thought to have lived between 200,000 and 30,000 years ago. Stand available.
