History

The following excerpt is from a book about the discovery of a Neanderthal skull in Belgium: "As Dr. Fuhlrott has not yet published his description of these circumstances, I borrow the following account of them from one of his letters. 'A small cave or grotto, high enough to admit a man, and about 15 feet deep from the entrance . . .exists in the southern wall of the gorge of the Neanderthal, . . . about 60 feet above the bottom of the valley.'"
—On Some Fossil Remains of Man by Thomas H. Huxley
