326 THE CASE AGAINST EVOLUTION 



and Le Moustier, all of whom have been assigned to the 

 Neanderthal group. 



(5) Neanderthal Man (No. 2) : This specimen is said to be 

 more recent than No. 1. Its discoverers were Rautert, 

 Klaatsch, and Koenen. It consists of a human skeleton with- 

 out a skull. It was found buried in the loess at a depth of 50 

 centimeters. This loess had been washed into the ruined 

 cave, where the relics were found, subsequently to its deposi- 

 tion on the plateau above. The bones were most probably 

 washed into the cave along with the loess, which fills the 

 remnant of the destroyed cave. The upper plateau of the 

 region is covered with the same loess. The site of the second 

 discovery was 200 meters to the west of the Neanderthal Cave 

 {i.e. the Feldhofer Grotte). The bones were either washed 

 into the broken cave, or buried there later. We have no indi- 

 cation whatever of their age. 



(6) The Man of La Naulette: In 1866, Andre Dupont found 

 in the cavern of La Naulette, valley of the Lesse, Belgium, a 

 fossil lower jaw, or rather, the fragment of a lower jaw, asso- 

 ciated with remains of the mammoth and rhinoceros. The frag- 

 ment was sufficient to show the dentition, and to indicate the 

 absence of a chin. "Its kinship with the man of Neanderthal," 

 "emarks Professor MacCurdy very naively, "whose lower jaw 

 < ould not be found, was evident. It tended to legitimatize the 

 latter, which hitherto had failed of general recognition."

(7) The Men of Spy: In June of 1886 two nearly complete 

 skeletons, probably of a woman and a man, were discovered 

 by Messrs. Marcel de Puydt and Maximin Lohest in a terrace 

 fronting a cave at Spy in the Province of Namur, Belgium, 

 47% feet above the shallow bed of the stream Orneau. The 

 bones were found at a depth of 13 feet below the surface of the 

 terrace. The remains were associated with bones of the 

 rhinoceros (Rhinoceros tichorhinus) , the mammoth (Elephas 

 primigenius) , and the great bear (Ursus spelaeus) . There were 

 also stone implements indicating Mousterian industry, and the
