27th Based Chapelle Found Gorilla Means Neanderthal Saints Skeleton Years Proven
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration depicts Neanderthal Man, a remarkable discovery from the distant past, unearthed at the archaeological site of La Chapelle-aux-Saints in France in 1908. The skeleton, now known as La Chapelle-1, challenged the prevailing theories of human evolution at the time. Contrary to popular belief, Neanderthal Man was not in the gorilla stage of development, but rather, he was surprisingly modern in type for someone living 500,000 years ago. The skeleton, discovered on December 19, 1908, was initially thought to be that of a Cro-Magnon man, a more advanced hominid believed to have lived during the Upper Paleolithic period. However, further analysis revealed that La Chapelle-1 was actually a Neanderthal, a species of archaic humans that had coexisted with early modern humans in Europe until around 40,000 years ago. The discovery of Neanderthal Man at La Chapelle-aux-Saints was a significant milestone in the study of human history. It challenged the prevailing notion that modern humans had evolved directly from apes and provided evidence that there were multiple lines of human evolution. The importance of this discovery was not fully recognized until the 1950s and 1960s, when new techniques in anthropology and genetics allowed scientists to reevaluate the evidence. Today, we understand that Neanderthals were not the brutish, ape-like beings portrayed in earlier depictions. Instead, they were skilled hunters, capable of using tools and fire, and had a complex social structure. The discovery of Neanderthal Man at La Chapelle-aux-Saints remains an important reminder of the rich and complex history of human evolution.
