Dusseldorf (World Archaeology) - The most famous Neanderthal - if not the most famous prehistoric fund at all - was successful in 1856 in the small cave in the Neander Valley Feldhofer at Dusseldorf-Mettmann in Nordrhein-Westfalen. After this valley, which was then still spelled with "th", the Neanderthals (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) have been appointed. The skeletal remains of this late Neanderthal from the period before about 70,000 years ago came from the demolition of the Little Feldhofer grotto to light. As first recognized the summoned from the quarry workers, secondary school teachers and cavers Fuhlrott Carl (1803-1877) from Wuppertal-Elberfeld, the true nature of the skeletal remains and their high geological age. His conclusions were not shared at first only a few contemporary experts. Only since 1901, the Neanderthal was generally regarded as aborigines. Of the skeleton, the skull, both thigh, the right and the left upper arm, five ribs and fragments of the left half of the pelvis are obtained. They come from an adult human who suffered in life to all sorts of diseases. The skeletal remains of Neanderthal man are now kept at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn.
