The Neanderthal Men
They lived in caves mostly in Europe and
made excellent stone tools. They had ape-like narrow skulls with prominent occipital, large
brow ridges, chinless projecting jaws, and large teeth. The brain was larger than that of
modern man ranging between 1300 and 1600 c.c. The posture was erect but given to much stooping
and squatting. Neanderthal man lived side by side with modern man in many places and the two
species interbred.

| China Man They represent the sidelines in
the evolution of man. They belong to the Pithecanthropus group. They walked erect, had large
brains over 900 c.c. in size, were distinctly human; they made and used stone tools. Their
jaws projecting forward, large teeth, sloping foreheads and skulls were, however, ape-like.
They had prominent eyebrow ridges and were without chins. |
