Description
Johann Carl Fuhlrott, a school master in Elberfeld, was the man who first saw the worth of the Neanderthal bones. Quarry men found them in a cave in the Neander valley in 1856. This book of 1865 is his full case in German for their great age.
Fuhlrott holds that the bones are fossil, the relics of a race from deep in the past. He sets out the cave, the bones, and the scorn his claim drew from the learned world. The book is the find claim writ large, by the man who stood by it first.
