In the February issue of the Bulletin International of the Academy of Sciences of Cracow, Mr. K. Stolyhwo describes a human skull dating from the historic period which presents strong indications of close affinity with the Spy-Neanderthal type, the so-called Homo primigenius of the Paleolithic epoch.
The skull, it appears, formed part of a skeleton from a tomb in which was also buried a suit of chain-armour, together with iron spear-heads, etc.
In the great development of the supra-orbital ridges and of the notch at the root of the nasals, the skull, which was found at Nowosiolka, closely approximates to the Neaderthal type. It may be added that in view of Prof. Solla’s recent reference of the latter to the Australian stock, the occurrence in eastern Europe of a late survival of the same type is a matter of profound interest."
Nowosiolka is in the Ukraine.
